WHEELER & BEATON v. WORKERS' COMP. APPEALS BD.

Docket No. B087842.

40 Cal.App.4th 389 (1995)

46 Cal. Rptr.2d 581

WHEELER & BEATON, Petitioner, v. WORKERS' COMPENSATION APPEALS BOARD and PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY, Respondents.

Court of Appeals of California, Second District, Division Six.

November 16, 1995.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

COUNSEL

Wheeler & Beaton and Craig A. Kingscott for Petitioner.

Vincent Bausano for Respondents.

OPINION

GILBERT, J.

A law firm performs services which significantly increase the benefits received by an injured worker. We hold that under such circumstances it is error to apply the Goler1 rule in setting the attorney fees. We therefore annul the decision of the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (Board) denying reconsideration of the attorney fees awarded.
