This case concerns Francisco Lazo's workers' compensation claim against Quality Staffing and Zurich. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed Lazo's Petition for Reconsideration. The dismissal was based on the petition being filed more than 20 days after the WCJ's decision was personally served. California law requires such petitions to be received by the WCAB within the 20-day timeframe, not merely mailed. As the petition was untimely, the WCAB lacked jurisdiction to consider its merits.
