Ajdini v. Frank Lill & Son, Inc.

Summary

The court held that an employer satisfies the statutory requirement to file a notice contesting workers' compensation liability only when the notice is delivered to the administrative law judge within the statutory twenty-eight-day period. Mailing the notice within that period is insufficient when the notice is received afterward, and the mailbox rule does not establish timely filing. The court therefore affirmed the decision precluding the defendants from contesting liability.
