CHRISTINA LILE vs. SOUTHEAST PERSONNEL LEASING, INC., PACKARD CLAIMS ADMINISTRATION, STATE NATIONAL INSURANCE

This case involves a Petition for Removal that the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied. The WCAB adopted the Workers' Compensation Judge's (WCJ) reasoning that removal is an extraordinary remedy and the petitioner failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm. The WCAB also agreed with the WCJ that the applicant's multiple claims should be consolidated for trial. Therefore, the petition was denied as reconsideration would be an adequate remedy if a final adverse decision were issued.
