DARRIEN GORDON vs. OAKLAND RAIDERS, PACIFIC EMPLOYERS INSURANCE COMPANY, XCHANGING, INC., ATLANTA FALCONS, ST. PAUL TRAVELERS
The Appeals Board granted reconsideration and vacated its prior decision because the insurer for the Atlanta Falcons' petition for reconsideration of the original arbitrator's award was untimely filed. The Board found that the petition was received and electronically filed after the statutory deadline. Therefore, the Board rescinded its March 22, 2011 decision and dismissed the Falcons' untimely petition. This ruling effectively reinstates the original arbitrator's award concerning employer liability for applicant Darrien Gordon's workers' compensation claim.
