CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a defendant seeking reconsideration of an award for industrial injury to multiple body parts, temporary disability, and further medical treatment. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to clarify that the Employment Development Department's lien takes precedence over the applicant's attorney fees. Attorney fees are now only payable from the remaining temporary disability indemnity after the EDD lien is satisfied, as statutory criteria for fees from EDD recovery were not met. Otherwise, the original findings regarding the industrial injury and need for medical treatment were affirmed.
