CHRISTINA HIRSCH vs. PHYSICIANS FOR HEALTHY HOSPITALS, ARCH INSURANCE COMPANY HEALTHCARE, INC.

Here is a summary of the case for a lawyer in max 4 sentences:

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for reconsideration and dismissed its petition for removal. The defendant argued due process violations due to discovery closure and contested the finding of permanent total disability without apportionment. However, the Board adopted the WCJ's reasoning, finding that the applicant's disabling conditions stemmed from industrial medical treatment, thus precluding apportionment under Hikida. The WCJ's findings of permanent and total disability were supported by substantial medical evidence, rendering the defendant's arguments regarding discovery and apportionment unpersuasive.
