Maximino Ultreras vs. Cottage Health Systems, Permissibly Self-insured, Adjusted By Keenan & Assoc.
In this case, Maximino Ultreras was seeking workers’ compensation from Cottage Health Systems, which was permissibly self-insured and adjusted by Keenan & Assoc. The Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant’s Petition for Removal and granted the Petition for Reconsideration, rescinding the portion of the Order finding injury AOE/COE and returning the matter to the trial level for further proceedings and a new decision. The Board found that the defendant had not established that it would suffer significant prejudice or irreparable harm if removal was not granted, and that there was not substantial medical evidence to support a finding of cumulative injury.
