Lien claimants sought reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board award regarding industrial injuries to the applicant's right knee and wrist. They argued the administrative law judge improperly applied a 2004 fee schedule to services rendered prior to its effective date and misapplied burdens of proof. The Board denied reconsideration, finding the ALJ used the 2004 fee schedule as a reasonable guide, not as a strictly applicable regulation for pre-2004 services, and that their petition was timely.
