The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration and rescinded findings related to sanctions against lien claimants. However, the WCAB affirmed the original decision that the lien claimants failed to prove the applicant sustained an industrial injury and thus were entitled to nothing for their services, except for medical-legal billings. The Board found that the WCJ improperly issued sanctions without affording the lien claimants proper notice and opportunity to be heard. Finally, the matter of sanctions was returned to the WCJ for further proceedings.
