CompFox AI Summary
The defendant, G2-Pacific Bell Network Integration and Old Republic Insurance Company, sought reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Administrative Law Judge's (WCJ) May 19, 2025 finding that applicant Sandra Pleasure's claim for a left knee injury was barred by laches. The defendant argued lack of employment during the claimed period and that the injury was specific, barring the claim by the statute of limitations. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the petition for reconsideration, determining the defendant was not an aggrieved party since the WCJ's decision already precluded the applicant's claim against them due to laches. The Board also noted the defendant failed to present evidence on employment at trial and cautioned against frivolous petitions.
