CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied George Huang's Petition for Reconsideration, upholding the original decision that the deceased was an employee of Mr. Huang and suffered a compensable death. The Board adopted the Workers' Compensation Judge's report, finding that Mr. Huang failed to demonstrate why newly discovered evidence, primarily consisting of bank records and a declaration from his sister, could not have been presented earlier with reasonable diligence. Furthermore, Mr. Huang's claims of fraud and misunderstanding of the proceedings were rejected, as he had been repeatedly advised to seek legal representation and had attended prior conferences. The Board also noted that Mr. Huang's supplemental filings did not meet procedural requirements.
