The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed the dismissal of a lien claim filed by Wilshire Union Chiro Medical Group.

While the claimant argued the absence was due to a representative's medical emergency, the Board found insufficient explanation for not sending another representative or notifying the court. Consequently, the Board imposed a $200 joint and several sanction on the lien claimant and its representative, Raul Mejia, for their failure to prosecute the lien and frivolous conduct.
