MANUEL AVENA vs. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT & REMEDIATION MANAGEMENT, INC., STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND

This case involves an applicant seeking reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) decision that denied injury to his neck, back, and right hip. The applicant's petition for reconsideration was filed over a year after the WCJ's decision and amended award were issued. Therefore, the WCAB dismissed the petition as untimely filed, lacking jurisdiction to consider it.
