Injury / body parts: circulatory system, nervous system, other body parts

CCR §10955CCR §10843CCR §10515

Summary

Applicant Richard Vatter, a fire engineer inspector for the County of Santa Barbara, claimed an October 7, 2008 industrial injury to his circulatory system, nervous system, and other body parts, which was resolved by a Compromise and Release approved January 15, 2021. Applicant separately sought SIBTF benefits, and SIBTF was joined as a party. Applicant petitioned to change venue from Santa Barbara to Oxnard, arguing Oxnard could handle more SIBTF cases; the WCJ issued an NIT to grant, but after SIBTF objected, the WCJ denied the petition. After the denial order and the petition for removal were filed, SIBTF withdrew its objection. The Board granted removal, rescinded the Order and Amended Order, and returned the matter to the WCJ because the record was insufficient and the WCJ had not had the opportunity to consider SIBTF's withdrawal in the first instance.
