GABRIELLE GAUCI vs. COUNTY OF MONTEREY, LIBERTY MUTAL INSURANCE

This case involves a petition for reconsideration filed by Gabrielle Gauci that was dismissed by the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB). The dismissal was primarily due to the petition not being verified as required by Labor Code section 5902. Even if the petition had been verified, the WCAB would have denied it on the merits based on the administrative law judge's report. Therefore, the WCAB formally ordered the petition for reconsideration to be dismissed.
