CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a Petition for Reconsideration filed by lien claimants, L. A. Regional Surgical Center and Isaac Verbukh, M.D., regarding an order disallowing their liens. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the petition as untimely because it was filed more than 20 days after the lien claimants received the Order Disallowing Liens on November 21, 2011. Although the WCJ's calculations regarding the objection to the Notice of Intention to Disallow Liens were erroneous, this did not affect the untimeliness of the petition for reconsideration. The Board emphasized that the 20-day period for filing a petition for reconsideration is jurisdictional.
