TEOFILO ALVAREZ vs. WETMORE TOOLS AND ENGINEERING, OLD REPUBLIC, GALLAGHER BASSETT NOVA CASUALTY, YORK

This case concerns a Petition for Reconsideration filed by the applicant, Teofilo Alvarez, against Wetmore Tools and Engineering and their insurers. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the petition because it was filed more than 25 days after the Administrative Law Judge's decision was served. The WCAB emphasized that the filing deadline is jurisdictional, meaning the Board lacks authority to consider untimely petitions. Had the petition been timely, it would have been denied on its merits.
