JACQUELINE DAVILA vs. ANDREW CHRISTIAN, INC., LUMBERMENS UNDERWRITING RELIANCE

Defendant sought reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) decision finding applicant sustained a psychiatric injury and permanent disability. The WCAB dismissed the defendant's petition for reconsideration because it failed to properly serve the petition on the applicant and her attorney, violating WCAB rules. The WCAB also noted that even if service were proper, they would have denied the petition on its merits, adopting the WCJ's reasoning. Therefore, the defendant's petition was dismissed.
