CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a defendant's petition for reconsideration of an order denying their motion to dismiss an applicant's workers' compensation claim. The defendant argued the claim was time-barred under Labor Code Section 5405(a). However, the petition was denied because it failed to establish the necessary statutory grounds and failed to address factual issues like the applicant's knowledge of their rights. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board adopted the WCJ's report and denied the petition, noting that reconsideration was unwarranted as the statute of limitations issue would be adjudicated at a properly scheduled hearing.
