This case concerns Jennifer Collins' petition for reconsideration of a workers' compensation administrative law judge's (WCJ) decision that denied her claim for permanent disability and further medical treatment. The WCJ's decision was issued on October 13, 2010. Collins argued the decision was procured by fraud because her attorney, who represented her at trial, had been dismissed on October 5, 2010. However, the Appeals Board dismissed the petition as untimely, noting it was filed over a year after the WCJ's order. The Board found that Collins' new attorneys did not file the substitution of attorney form until November 2, 2010, well after the WCJ's decision.
