Summary

Applicant Bladimir Soto, in pro per, sought reconsideration of an October 11, 2021 Findings and Order in which the WCJ found he failed to prove industrial injury to his gastrointestinal system, back, or leg (a puncture wound to the abdomen was accepted AOE/COE). The petition was filed on July 12, 2023, far beyond the 25-day jurisdictional period for filing a petition for reconsideration. The Appeals Board held that because the time limit is jurisdictional, it had no authority to consider the untimely petition. However, applying liberal construction principles, the Board directed that the petition be treated at the trial level as a timely petition to reopen under Labor Code sections 5410, 5803, and 5804. The Board dismissed the petition for reconsideration but instructed the WCJ to consider whether further development of the record was needed.
