CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted Zenith Insurance Company's petition for reconsideration, rescinding the WCJ's July 21, 2011 Findings of Fact. The WCAB found the original findings deficient because they addressed Zenith's lien claim in only one of multiple case numbers and failed to provide notice to State Compensation Insurance Fund (SCIF), which was responsible for litigating lien claims per the settlement agreement. Furthermore, the findings were unclear regarding the nature of the services and potentially admitted exhibits not present in the record. The matter is returned to the trial level for further proceedings to resolve all unresolved lien claims with proper notice to all parties.
