Opinion
HOLLENHORST, Acting P. J.
E.L. Yeager Construction and its workers’ compensation insurer (collectively referred to as petitioner) petition for a writ of review to determine the lawfulness of an award and an order denying reconsideration in a proceeding before the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (Board). Petitioner contends that the Board erred by not correctly applying the newly enacted apportionment statutes and in rejecting the independent medical examiner’s (IME) opinion on apportionment. We agree and, accordingly, annul the order.
