FRANK ALLEN vs. ATLAS TRANSFER AND STORAGE COMPANY, REDWOOD FIRE & CASUALTY INSURANCE, BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY HOMESTATE COMPANIES, STAR INSURANCE COMPANY, MEADOWBROOK INSURANCE GROUP

Defendants sought reconsideration of an award finding Frank Allen an employee entitled to temporary disability and medical treatment. They argued Allen was an independent contractor, and that temporary disability should be limited to 104 weeks due to insufficient evidence of chronic lung disease. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, amended the temporary disability finding, and affirmed the award otherwise, returning the case to the trial level.
