CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed Travelers Insurance's petition for reconsideration. The petition sought to set aside stipulations and orders approving the settlement of lien claims, arguing the settlements were made in error due to a stay of proceedings. However, the WCAB found the petition procedurally defective for failing to meet the verification requirement. Even if the petition had been properly verified, the WCAB would have denied it, as a unilateral mistake is insufficient grounds to set aside stipulations and the alleged stay was unsubstantiated.
