Maria Aguirre vs. Lompoc Valley Medical Center Permissibly Self-insured Administered By Workers’ Compensation Administrators
is a case in which Maria Aguirre, the applicant, was suing Lompoc Valley Medical Center, a self-insured company administered by Workers’ Compensation Administrators. The Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board denied the Petition for Reconsideration, affirming the award of attorney fees to the applicant. The Board found that the defendant’s attempt to withdraw its petition to terminate liability for temporary disability, after the medical evidence indicated the petition was without basis, violated the letter and spirit of the law.
