LILIA LLERANDI CHAPITAL, GUSTAVO HILDALGO (Deceased) vs. DWIGHT JEFFERS, aka DWIGHT E. JEFFERS, individually and as a substantial shareholder of DEJ ENTERPRISES a NEVADA CORPORATION, illegally uninsured, EXPERT PLASTERING INC. and CALIFORNIA INSURANCE COMPANY, BEHLER ASSOCIATES INC. dba BEHLER CONSTRUCTION and STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND

This Workers' Compensation Appeals Board decision granted reconsideration to amend a finding. The Board affirmed that the deceased was employed by Dwight Jeffers, individually and uninsured, and not by Expert Plastering, DEJ Enterprises, or Behler Construction. The Court rejected the argument that Labor Code section 2750.5 compelled a finding of employment with Behler due to Jeffers's lack of license, as Jeffers was not a subcontractor of Behler.
