CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, affirming the disallowance of Dr. Rahimi's lien claim for psyche treatment due to a lack of evidence of industrial psyche injury, relying on a physician's report stating no such injury occurred. The Board also affirmed sanctions against Dr. Rahimi for bad-faith litigation actions, but reduced the total attorney fees awarded to defense counsel from $2,400 to $1,200. The reduction was due to insufficient evidence of Dr. Rahimi's non-attendance at certain hearings and an issue with the timing of a compromise and release approval. Finally, the Board noted that the issue of notice regarding the compromise and release was not raised at trial and the lien claimant failed to demonstrate prejudice.
