Summary

Applicant Farkhat Sultanov alleged employment with Stella Moving, LLC d/b/a Stella Moving Company (willfully uninsured) and its two substantial shareholders, Nurlan Nishanbayev (51%) and Arslan Turganov (49%). The WCJ found all three jointly and severally liable for past and future benefits pending a determination of industrial causation, after finding the LLC was Applicant's employer and that neither shareholder's membership interest had been terminated and the LLC had never been dissolved. Turganov petitioned for reconsideration/removal, arguing that liability should fall solely on Nishanbayev. The WCAB adopted and incorporated the WCJ's report, emphasizing the WCJ's credibility determinations under Garza, and denied the petition.
