Ajdini v. Frank Lill & Son, Inc.

Summary

The court held that an employer satisfies the statutory duty to file a notice contesting workers’ compensation liability only when the notice is delivered to the administrative law judge by the statutory deadline, not merely mailed by that date. Because the employer’s notice arrived after the twenty-eight-day period, the employer was properly precluded from contesting liability, and the Compensation Review Board’s decision was affirmed.
