Micro Solutions; ICW Explorer Insurance Martin Rojero Longoria WORKERS’ COMPENSATION APPEALS BOARDSTATE OF CALIFORNIAMARTIN ROJERO LONGORIA, Applicant,vs.MICRO SOLUTIONS; ICW EXPLORER INSURANCE, Defendants.Case Nos. ADJ4402360 (MON 0331376) ADJ937992 (MON 0331375)OPINION AND ORDER DISMISSING PETITION FOR RECONSIDERATION Lien claimant, former counsel of record Elliott J. Wachtel, seeks reconsideration of the Findings of Fact and Award, issued July 12, 2011, wherein the workers’ compensation administrative law judge (WCJ) found that applicant sustained an industrial injury to his lumbar spine “and did not sustain injury to his head.” Attorney fees were allowed in the amount of 15% of the net unpaid temporary disability benefits.
