Laura Wrightman — ADJ11175844, ADJ21406807

Applicant Laura Wrightman filed a Petition for Removal challenging a WCJ decision in a case against the City of Irvine, permissibly self-insured and administered by AdminSure, Inc. The Board first addressed the timeliness of its review under Labor Code section 5909, confirming the petition was acted upon within 60 days of the case's transmission to the Appeals Board on June 24, 2026. Because the WCJ's decision contained a finding on a threshold issue, it constituted a final decision subject to reconsideration, but since the petitioner only challenged an interlocutory finding, the Board applied the removal standard. The Board found the petitioner failed to demonstrate significant prejudice or irreparable harm, and that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy. The Petition was denied.
