David Carter — ADJ911350, ADJ2771708, ADJ2113066

Defendant Zurich North America sought removal of a July 3, 2019 Joint Findings and Order in which the WCJ found applicant David Carter sustained injury AOE/COE to multiple body parts during specified employment periods and found no good cause to dismiss the cases for lack of prosecution. Zurich argued the WCJ erred in denying its petition to dismiss, contending applicant had not pursued his claim, his attorney had not advanced the case, and applicant had not cooperated with a cardiology medical-legal evaluation. The Board treated the challenge under the removal standard because the petitioner disputed only the interlocutory finding (denial of dismissal), not the final injury finding. The Board found Zurich failed to demonstrate significant prejudice or irreparable harm, or that reconsideration would be inadequate. The Board affirmed the WCJ's Findings and Order.
