DINO DURSO vs. LES SCHWAB TIRE CENTERS OF CALIFORNIA, INC., permissibly self-insured, administered by SEDGWICK CLAIMS MANAGEMENT SERVICES

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration to rescind a prior award finding new and further disability. The WCAB found the prior medical report relied upon by the judge was issued before the original stipulated award, thus not constituting new evidence. The case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings to develop the record regarding new and further disability. Additionally, the WCAB ordered consolidation of this case with a subsequent injury claim due to common issues.
