§ 21167 Workers' Comp Rehearing Grounds

• •If you don't like the decision from the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board, you can ask for a second look within 20 days.
• •You can only ask for a second look if the board did something wrong, like going beyond their power or making a mistake with the facts.
• •You can also ask for a second look if you find new important information that you couldn’t have found before.
• •You can’t ask for a second look for any other reason.

You got hurt at work and the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board said you don’t get money for your injury. But you later find a doctor’s note that proves your injury is worse than they thought.

You can ask the board to look at your case again because you found new information that could change their decision. But you have to do it within 20 days of getting their first decision.
