CARLOS ZAMBRANO vs. COSTCO WHOLESALE CORPORATION; Permissibly Self-Insured, Administered By SEDGWICK CLAIMS MANAGEMENT SERVICES

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the lien claimant's petition for reconsideration as untimely. The petition sought to overturn an order approving a compromise and release settlement where the applicant was held responsible for a child support lien. Despite the lien claimant's arguments regarding improper exclusion and alleged fraud, the Board found the petition was filed significantly outside the statutory deadline. Therefore, the original order approving the settlement, which placed responsibility for the lien solely on the applicant, stands.
