Ruth Recinos vs. Pacific Stars Restaurant, Everest National Insurance Company

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied a lien claimant's petition for reconsideration of a dismissal order. The claimant failed to appear at a scheduled lien trial, and subsequently missed the deadline to object to the Notice of Intention to Dismiss. The Board found the claimant's excuse of "human error" insufficient and noted the petition was unverified and skeletal. The case was returned to the WCJ to consider sanctions against the lien claimant for its non-appearance and procedural deficiencies.
