(1) All claims of all persons arising out of the same injury or death shall be filed in the same proceeding.

(2) The administrative law judge may order the consolidation of two (2) or more related proceedings arising out of the same accident for the purpose of taking evidence. In the event of consolidation, all documentary evidence previously filed or filed after that in any such proceeding shall be filed in the proceeding designated by the administrative law judge as the master proceeding and when so filed shall be considered evidence and part of the record in each of the consolidated proceedings.
