SUSIE AREVALO vs. WAL-MART STORES, INC., AMERICAN HOME INSURANCE, administered by AVIZENT

This case involves a lien claimant, Superior Med Surgical, Inc., whose lien was dismissed by a Workers' Compensation Judge (WCJ) after failing to appear at a lien conference. The lien claimant submitted a timely objection to the dismissal notice, but it was not received by the WCJ due to EAMS system issues. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration on its own motion due to this procedural error. The WCAB rescinded the dismissal order and returned the case to the trial level for the WCJ to consider the lien claimant's objection.
