Antonio Guzman — ADJ12909831, ADJ12910091

In this arbitrated workers' compensation case, applicant Antonio Guzman, a 25-year rebar ironworker, was found by the workers' compensation arbitrator (WCA) to be 100% permanently disabled with no apportionment, with industrial injury to numerous body parts including the spine, knees, shoulders, hips, wrists, psyche, and hearing. Defendant BITCO Insurance/Old Republic sought reconsideration, contending that the WCA erred in finding industrial causation as to the thoracic spine, right knee, bilateral hips, bilateral wrists, and psychiatric injury; that disability should have been 66% after apportionment; and that the record lacked stipulations regarding average weekly wage and date of maximum medical improvement, making the Award impossible to pay. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration but deferred a final decision because the arbitration record was incomplete, lacking minutes, pleadings, stipulations, issues, properly identified exhibits, and a summary of evidence as required by WCAB Rule 10914. The Board found it could not conduct meaningful due-process review without a complete, ascertainable record and deferred final decision pending further review.
