CEZAR MORALES vs. COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, Permissibly Self-Insured, INTERCARE INSURANCE COMPANY

Defendant sought reconsideration and removal of the WCJ's order deferring their petition to disqualify the IME, Dr. Rogers. The Board dismissed the reconsideration petition as interlocutory orders are not subject to review. Removal was denied as defendant failed to demonstrate prejudice or irreparable harm, having waived objections to Dr. Rogers' appointment and not proving bias in his reports. Therefore, the WCAB dismissed the petition for reconsideration and denied removal.
