CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration and rescinded a dismissal of a lien claimant's lien. The lien claimant had previously paid the required activation fee in a companion case involving the same injured worker and services. The WCAB found that under the applicable Administrative Director rule, only one fee is required when a lien claimant has multiple liens for the same services across different cases for the same worker. Therefore, the dismissal for failure to pay a fee in one specific case was erroneous.
