CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a prior order disallowing a lien claimant's expenses. The Board found that a contested claim existed from the date the employer denied liability until the applicant settled their claim. However, the Board remanded the case to the trial level because the lien claimant failed to prove the specific dates its services were rendered and that those services occurred when a contested claim was active. Therefore, further proceedings are required to determine the validity of the lien claimant's expenses.
