Applicant Soon Hee Hwang filed a claim for injuries sustained during employment. The Workers' Compensation Judge initially found no injury arising out of and in the course of employment (AOE/COE), disallowing the liens of WestStar Physical Therapy and WSPT Network. The lien claimants petitioned for reconsideration, arguing that the WCJ erred in not relying on the Qualified Medical Evaluator's opinion as substantial evidence. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the petition, rescinded the original Findings and Order, and substituted a new Findings and Order, concluding that the applicant did sustain injury AOE/COE and deferring the remaining lien issues.
