CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the applicant's Petition for Removal to overturn the denial of a change of venue. The WCAB found good cause to change venue from San Luis Obispo to Salinas, where the employer, treating physicians, and applicant's attorney are located. The applicant's initial venue designation in her county of residence appeared to be a clerical error, especially since the defendant stipulated to the change. Therefore, venue was officially changed to the Salinas district office.
