Injury / body parts: orthopedic injury (unspecified, evaluated by ortho/QME)

CCR §10955

Summary

Defendant Pacific Petroleum California, Inc. and its insurer sought removal in response to a WCJ's order setting the matter for trial on the issue of temporary disability, arguing it would be significantly prejudiced if forced to proceed on the current record and that the record required further development given a pending supplemental report from ortho/QME Dr. Keith Robertson. The Appeals Board reviewed the petition and the WCJ's report and found that defendant failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm. The Board noted that removal is an extraordinary remedy and that defendant could raise the issue of further development of the record at trial. The Petition for Removal was denied.
