CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of an administrative law judge's decision that barred a lien claimant's recovery. The judge found the applicant sustained industrial injuries only to her back and right upper extremity, not her psyche. This psyche injury denial was based on a good faith personnel action defense and was no longer subject to reconsideration. Because the applicant's industrial injury did not include a psyche injury, the lien claimant, standing in the applicant's shoes, could not recover for services related to a non-compensable injury.
