ROBERT LEITHISER vs. MICROSOFT, GALLAGHER BASSETT RANCHO CUCAMONGA

This case involves a lien claimant seeking reconsideration of a decision denying an applicant's psychological injury claim. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration and affirmed the original finding that the applicant did not sustain an industrial psyche injury. Consequently, the lien claimant is not entitled to recover costs for psychological medical treatment. However, the WCAB deferred the issue of whether the lien claimant can recover for medical-legal costs, returning it to the trial level for further proceedings.
