CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to a lien claimant, San Diego Imaging, Inc., who sought to reinstate its lien. The Board found that the amended Labor Code section 4903.5(a) should not be retroactively applied to disallow liens that were timely filed under the prior version of the statute. Therefore, the original Findings and Order disallowing the lien were rescinded. The case was returned to the trial level for further proceedings to address the lien claim and any claims for costs and sanctions.
