CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration for a lien claimant's petition challenging the dismissal of its lien. However, the WCAB is issuing an intention to sanction the claimant's representative, Innovative Medical Management, and its attorney, Lee Toney, for frivolous conduct and misleading petition. This is because the lien had been withdrawn prior to the petition being filed, rendering the request to reinstate it meritless. The Board is offering an opportunity for objection before imposing a $1,000 sanction.
