CompFox AI Summary
Oriska Insurance Company sought to set aside an arbitrator's amended findings which held Oriska liable for applicant's workers' compensation injury, overturning a prior finding that another insurer was responsible due to fraudulent evidence presented by Oriska. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) is treating Oriska's petition as one for reconsideration. Oriska's petition was filed untimely, 44 days after the amended order, exceeding the statutory 25-day deadline. Therefore, the WCAB dismissed Oriska's petition as untimely and would have denied it on the merits had it been timely.
