CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Zurich North America's petition for reconsideration, affirming the WCJ's finding that the applicant was medically eligible for vocational rehabilitation and that benefits were delayed. The Board also removed the case on its own motion and intends to sanction the applicant's attorneys for attaching irrelevant documents to their petition, a violation of WCAB Rule 10842. This is a repeat offense for the law firm, which has been previously admonished for similar conduct.
