Injury / body parts: head, circulatory system (stroke)

CCR §10955

Summary

Applicant Andrew Jauregui claimed two injuries: a dog bite on June 13, 2022 (ADJ17354037) and a stroke on June 20, 2022 (ADJ17141277). Defendant obtained an occupational medicine QME panel for the dog bite claim, and applicant obtained a neurology QME panel for the stroke claim. After occupational medicine QME Dr. Esfahane opined the stroke was not industrial, defendant canceled the scheduled neurology QME exam with Dr. Maasumi. The WCJ found applicant entitled to be evaluated by the neurology QME, and defendant petitioned for reconsideration/removal. The Appeals Board denied relief, holding Dr. Esfahane's report was not substantial evidence because he reviewed no medical records, and defendant showed no substantial prejudice or irreparable harm warranting removal.
