CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed Salvador Bueno's Petition for Reconsideration because it was filed significantly late. California law provides 25 days to file a petition for reconsideration after a decision is served by mail, with limited extensions. The petition was filed on May 3, 2018, over nine months after the WCJ's August 3, 2017 decision. Untimely petitions are jurisdictional defects, meaning the WCAB lacks the authority to consider them.
