CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Rosa Leon's petition for reconsideration. The Board found her reliance on the Lozano case misplaced because, unlike in Lozano, the defendant's liability was not admitted nor were benefits provided during the Appeals Board's jurisdictional period. Furthermore, the defendant was not joined as a party until after the Board's jurisdiction to establish joint and several liability had expired. Therefore, the petition for reconsideration was denied.
