Ramon Zieba vs. Bailly Showcase; Safeco Insurance Company
This case involves a lien claimant, Barry A. Halote, Ph.D., who sought reconsideration of a February 3, 2011 Findings of Fact issued by a workers’ compensation administrative law judge (WCJ) wherein the WCJ found that the applicant did not sustain a psychiatric injury arising out of and occurring in the course of employment. The WCJ denied the petition for reconsideration, finding that the issue of the reasonableness of psychiatric treatment was not raised at the first hearing and was therefore waived. The Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board upheld the WCJ’s decision.
