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 twenty-eight-day period; mailing it within that period is insufficient. Because the employer's notice arrived after the deadline, the administrative law judge properly precluded the defendants from contesting liability, and the board's decision was affirmed.
