CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed Jennifer Hester's petition for reconsideration of a prior decision. The WCAB found that Hester had already sought reconsideration and failed to prevail, and a subsequent petition is only permissible if new evidence is presented. Since no new evidence was submitted despite opportunities on the prior reconsideration, the WCAB dismissed the current petition. Therefore, the WCAB's prior decision, which affirmed the administrative law judge's finding that Technicolor's offer to pay for surgery per fee schedule satisfied its obligation, remains in effect.
