CompFox AI Summary

This case concerns a petition for reconsideration by West Valley Construction Company and Zurich American Insurance Company regarding a prior decision that reversed an arbitrator's finding. The arbitrator had barred the applicant's claim for specific injuries to his neck and back due to the statute of limitations. The defendants argued the applicant's petition was procedurally defective and that the Board did not properly weigh evidence. The Board denied reconsideration, finding the applicant's amended petition cured any initial defects and that the defendants were not prejudiced by the form of the original filing. The Board affirmed its previous decision based on its prior reasoning.
