CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns lien claimants' right to have their claims adjudicated after the underlying workers' compensation case was dismissed without prejudice. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) initially ruled it lacked jurisdiction to hear the liens, reasoning that the claimants did not seek reconsideration of the dismissal. However, on reconsideration, the WCAB found it retains jurisdiction over liens even after the main claim is dismissed without prejudice. The Board rescinded its prior order, finding jurisdiction, and returned the matter for further lien proceedings.
