JOSE OROZCO vs. B AND M RACING PERFORMANCES, EVEREST NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY Care of SEDGWICK CLAIMS MANAGEMENT SERVICES

This case concerns a lien claimant seeking payment for treatment provided to an applicant. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed the administrative law judge's disallowance of the lien. The lien was disallowed because it was filed significantly beyond the statutory three-year limit from the date services were rendered. Furthermore, even if an earlier filing date were accepted, the lien would have been dismissed by operation of law due to the failure to pay the required lien activation fee by the statutory deadline.
