Katrina Rudge — ADJ911186

Applicant Katrina Rudge, appearing in pro per, filed a petition challenging a WCJ's June 28, 2021 Findings of Fact in three consolidated claims against permissibly self-insured Bank of America. The challenged finding concerned whether to strike defendant's two qualified medical evaluators (QMEs). Although the WCJ's decision included a final threshold finding, applicant only disputed an interlocutory issue (the QME striking question), so the Board applied the removal standard. The Board found that applicant had not shown significant prejudice or irreparable harm and that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy if a final adverse decision later issued. The petition, treated as one seeking reconsideration, was denied.
