RONALD SMALLWOOD, JR. vs. D. BEST & SONS TRUCKING, STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND
This case concerns a petition for reconsideration filed by a lien claimant which the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed. The WCAB found the petition untimely, as it was filed more than 25 days after the July 3, 2013 Order, exceeding the statutory limit for filing reconsideration. Furthermore, the petition was dismissed for failing to meet the verification requirement under Labor Code section 5902. The WCAB adopted and incorporated the administrative law judge's report and recommendation in its decision.
