CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied a lien claimant's petition for reconsideration regarding payment for interpreter services. The Board found that the lien claimant waived certain claims by failing to serve the petition on the applicant and her attorney, and by not explicitly claiming fees under Labor Code section 5710(b)(5). Regarding a contested payment, the Board noted evidence of a payment that should satisfy the outstanding amount, and denied sanctions for alleged late payment, as the lien claimant did not sufficiently prove the defendant failed to contest liability within the prescribed timeframe.
