MARIO GARCIA vs. DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND

This case, *Garcia v. Department of Corrections*, concerns a Petition for Reconsideration that was dismissed by the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB). The dismissal was based solely on the defendant's failure to properly serve a cost petitioner, Medical Legal Experts, Inc., with the petition, in violation of Labor Code section 5905. The WCAB clarified that even if this procedural defect hadn't occurred, the petition would have been denied on its merits. Therefore, the WCAB issued an order dismissing the Petition for Reconsideration.
