JOSE FRANCO vs. COLOMOS BERRY FARMS, ZENITH INSURANCE COMPANY

This case concerns a lien claimant's petition for reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) decision denying their lien. The WCAB upheld the administrative law judge's finding that the lien claimant failed to prove the reasonableness and necessity of the chiropractic treatment provided to the applicant. This failure was based on the agreed medical evaluator's report stating the treatment provided no relief and identifying injury primarily to the low back and hip, not the cervical spine. Consequently, the WCAB denied the petition for reconsideration.
