CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the lien claimant's petition for reconsideration. The Board found the petition invalid due to the lien claimant's failure to properly serve the attorneys of record for the defendant, violating Labor Code sections and Board rules. This procedural defect alone warranted denial, and the Board also adopted the WCJ's recommendation to deny on the merits. The WCJ had dismissed the lien after the claimant failed to appear at a conference and object to a notice of intention to dismiss.
