AN TNEAL GOFFNEY vs. CITY OF LOS ANGELES, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Permissibly Self-Insured

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the lien claimant's petition for reconsideration, striking the previous finding that there was no claim for medical-legal expenses. The Board found that the lien claimant's petition was timely filed and that there appeared to be valid medical-legal expenses that should be evaluated. The decision of the administrative law judge was otherwise affirmed. The matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings concerning these expenses.
