CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the lien claimant's petition for reconsideration of a stipulated award because the petition was filed over three years after the award was issued. The Board noted that the lien claimant did not receive notice of the award until long after it was issued and that the arguments and evidence for the lien claim had not been developed at the trial level. Therefore, the lien claimant's rights were preserved to seek redress at the trial level by filing a declaration of readiness to proceed.
