CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed Ramiro Arteaga's Petition for Reconsideration as untimely. California law requires petitions for reconsideration to be filed within 25 days of service of the Workers' Compensation Judge's (WCJ) decision. Arteaga's petition was filed on April 9, 2015, which was over 25 days after the WCJ's March 4, 2015 decision. This jurisdictional defect means the WCAB lacked authority to consider the petition's merits.
