CompFox AI Summary

This case involves a lien claimant, Rehab Solutions, whose claim for $5,046.50 was disallowed due to failure to prove the reasonableness of charges. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration but ultimately affirmed the decision that Rehab Solutions would take nothing on its lien claim. The WCAB agreed with the finding that Rehab Solutions and its representative engaged in frivolous conduct by insisting on trial without probative evidence. Sanctions were considered, with Rehab Solutions and its representative potentially liable for $2,500, but the findings regarding sanctions were ordered to be placed within the Notice of Intention to Impose Sanctions rather than the main Findings of Fact.
