This case concerns petitions for reconsideration of three dismissed medical liens filed by Pinnacle Lien Services (PLS) on behalf of three doctors. PLS failed to appear at a lien conference and did not respond to Notices of Intent to Dismiss. The WCAB denied reconsideration, finding PLS provided insufficient justification for its failures to appear and respond, and that relief under CCP § 473 was not warranted due to lack of proper documentation and communication breakdowns. The Board emphasized the need for a substantial explanation for non-appearance and failure to respond to dismissal notices.
