Summary

Peter Watson sustained industrial injuries while employed by FPL Energy during a continuous trauma period (1/1/2000-9/27/2007), and the case-in-chief resolved by Compromise and Release approved in 2018. The Prescription Center Pharmacy (TPC), a lien claimant, sought reconsideration of an 8/29/2022 Findings & Award that disallowed many of its pharmacy charges. The Appeals Board first addressed why it could act on the petition years after filing, applying Shipley equitable tolling because the Board did not receive the petition until June 5, 2025, through no fault of the parties. On the merits, the Board adopted and incorporated the WCJ's Report, which rejected TPC's arguments regarding service obligations, adverse inference, and burden of proof. The petition was denied.
