CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied a lien claimant's petition for reconsideration, despite finding the petition was timely filed. The Board adopted the judge's reasoning that the lien claimant failed to prove the applicant sustained an injury arising out of and occurring in the course of employment (AOE/COE). This failure, based on the persuasive report of the qualified medical examiner, meant the lien claimant could not recover for their services. The Board also noted that the applicant and employer had agreed in a settlement that no psychological injury occurred per the QME's findings.
