Summary

Johnny Hamlett sustained injury on October 21, 2010 while employed by David Waldschmidt dba Wolf Performance Golf Carts, an illegally uninsured employer. After a three-day trial, the WCJ found an employer-employee relationship and ultimately awarded TTD, 76% permanent disability with a life pension, a 10% penalty under Labor Code section 4554, and future medical care. Waldschmidt sought reconsideration, first arguing his former attorney failed to enter his complete address into the Official Address Record (OAR), then later arguing the court clerk erroneously failed to amend his address based on the unit number appearing in the dismissal of attorney. The Board affirmed its prior decision, holding the new clerk-error argument was waived for not being raised at the first opportunity and was substantively meritless because the dismissal did not advise of a change of address, and Waldschmidt had a duty to maintain his correct address.
