GRACIELA GARCIA vs. RNB FURNITURE, INC., EMPLOYERS PREFERRED INSURANCE COMPANY

This Workers' Compensation Appeals Board case involves a lien claimant, Joyce Altman Interpreters, seeking reconsideration of a decision denying their lien. The administrative law judge found the lien claimant failed to prove the market rate for their interpretation services. The Board denied reconsideration, adopting the judge's reasoning that the lien claimant did not provide adequate evidence, such as witness testimony or detailed methodology, to establish the market rate as defined by regulations. The claimant's arguments regarding presumptive reasonableness and waiver were rejected.
