Brigitte Paige, an office assistant, sustained injuries to her lumbar spine, hip, and psyche in 2014 while employed by the County of Riverside. San Diego Imaging, Inc., doing business as California Imaging Solutions, sought reimbursement for medical-legal services which the Workers' Compensation administrative law judge (WCJ) denied in Findings and Orders (F&O) on December 21, 2020. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration and found that the defendant's objection to an earlier Order Allowing Costs was untimely, making that order effective on April 2, 2019. Consequently, the Board rescinded the WCJ's F&O, substituted a new F&O finding the defendant liable for payment based on the April 2, 2019 order, and deferred the issue of costs and sanctions to the trial level.
