The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration for the lien claimant, Med-Legal Photocopy, after the WCJ disallowed its claims for photocopying services. The Board found that the WCJ erred in disallowing the lien, as the copying services were potentially incurred for the purpose of proving contested claims. The Board rescinded the WCJ's decision and returned the matter for further proceedings to determine the reasonableness and necessity of the photocopying costs for disputed issues. The Board emphasized that the existence of contested issues is not negated solely by an accepted injury, especially before a final disposition.
