Bulandi v. Southern California Permanente Medical
Fiona Bulanadi and her husband, Robert Bulanadi, appeal from a judgment of dismissal entered after the trial court sustained without leave to amend demurrers to the first amended complaint by Fiona’s employer, Southern California Permanente Medical Group (Permanente Medical Group), several entities involved in the administration of Fiona’s workers’ compensation claim, a claims adjuster, Sedgwick Claims Management Services, Inc., and Sedgwick’s employee, Fia Kyono. The trial court ruled the Workers’ Compensation Act barred all of the Bulanadis’ causes of action. We reverse the judgment and direct the trial court to overrule the demurrer to all causes of action other than fraud. As to that cause of action, we direct the trial court to sustain the demurrer with leave to amend to allow the Bulanadis to plead, if they can, fraud with the requisite specificity.
