CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Florida Silva's Petition for Reconsideration, upholding the denial of her claim for attorney's fees and penalties. The denial stemmed from the applicant's failure to formally petition for penalties or raise attorney's fees and costs as issues during the Mandatory Settlement Conference or trial. The board found that the SJDB voucher issue became moot when it was eventually provided, and without a formal petition for penalties, there was no basis for an award of fees.
