CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration to a lien claimant after their lien was dismissed by the administrative law judge (ALJ). The dismissal occurred because the lien claimant's attorney of record did not receive notice of intention to dismiss and the subsequent dismissal order, violating due process. The WCAB found the petition for reconsideration to be timely because the 20-day period to file began from when the attorney actually learned of the dismissal. The matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings.
