Tim Pandzic, vs. Commercial Industrial Finishing And State Compensation Insurance Fund,
In this case, Tim Pandzic sought reconsideration of the Findings and Award filed in two cases on June 3, 2009. Pandzic argued that the workers’ compensation administrative law judge (WCJ) erred in finding that he did not sustain injury AOE/COE to his internal organs, including urological system, bladder and bowel dysfunction. Additionally, Pandzic contended that the WCJ erred by finding that he was not entitled to penalties under Labor Code Section 5814 and by failing to assess penalties against the defendant under Labor Code Section 5813. The WCJ recommended that reconsideration be granted and the Findings and Award be amended. The Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board granted the petition for reconsideration,
