CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) affirmed a prior award denying attorney's fees to lien claimant Law Offices of Pisegna and Zimmerman. The WCAB also imposed sanctions of $750 against three attorneys from that firm for failing to satisfy procedural rules and submitting a petition with an inadequate verification. The firm failed to provide any evidence of legal services rendered for the applicant, nor did they appear at the lien trial. Their response to the sanctions notice did not demonstrate good cause, merely asserting good faith without factual support.
