CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of the disallowance of a lien claimant's claim. The claimant based their claim on an alleged settlement agreement, but the document lacked proper authentication and contained significant discrepancies, including an incorrect case number. The Appeals Board adopted the WCJ's report, finding the claimant failed to meet their burden of proof by a preponderance of the evidence. This decision affirmed that admitted evidence must still be evaluated for weight and sufficiency.
