CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns a lien claimant's petition for reconsideration of a denial of its lien claim. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied the petition, upholding the Administrative Law Judge's finding that the lien was barred by the statute of limitations. The WCJ correctly determined that the 18-month filing deadline under Labor Code section 4903.5(a) applied because services extended past July 1, 2013. The lien was filed nearly three years after the last date of service, making it untimely.
