CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of a decision that disallowed a lien for medical treatment provided to an applicant, finding that the treatment was not for an industrially related injury. The lien claimant failed to demonstrate industrial injury to body parts beyond the applicant's right thumb, did not provide sufficient evidence, and failed to exercise reasonable diligence in attempting to secure the applicant's testimony. The Board adopted the reasoning of the WCJ, who found the lien claimant's arguments regarding procedural errors and due process violations to be without merit.
