The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed Electronic Waveform, Inc.'s petition for reconsideration because it was filed 35 days after the original dismissal order, well beyond the statutory 25-day deadline for filing by mail. Lien claimant's asserted inability to appear due to an employee's illness and claim for ADA accommodations did not overcome the jurisdictional defect of untimely filing. The WCAB emphasized that the lien claimant's representative, Chambers Medical Collections, Inc., is responsible for arranging its business to ensure timely appearances at hearings.
