CompFox AI Summary

This case concerns a lien claimant's petition for reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) decision. The WCAB granted reconsideration to modify the original award regarding the reasonableness of services and the reimbursement amount. Ultimately, the WCAB found that the lien claimant's "lien/legal fee" service was not reasonable, but affirmed reimbursement for other services at $$9,759.32$, concluding the defendant waived objections to most costs due to a failure to contest within the statutory 60-day period. The WCAB also upheld the exclusion of a specific exhibit for failing to comply with discovery rules.
