CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted the lien claimant's petition for reconsideration, rescinding the prior order that found most of the copying services invalid. The Board found sufficient evidence of a contested claim at the time the services were rendered, which is a prerequisite for medical-legal expense reimbursement. Crucially, the defendant failed to properly object to the reasonableness or necessity of the lien claimant's services within the statutory timeframe. The case is returned to the WCJ for further proceedings to determine the actual amount due for the copying services.
