JUDY GIFFORD vs. AUBERRY REHABILITATION HOSPITAL, CALIFORNIA SELF INSURERS’ SECURITY FUND, CHARLES TAYLOR

This case involved a lien claimant, Verbatim RX Pharmacy, seeking reconsideration after its lien was dismissed by the WCJ for failing to object to a Notice of Intention. The claimant argued excusable neglect and a due process violation. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied reconsideration, adopting the WCJ's report which found the claimant's failure to object procedurally barred their claim. The WCAB specifically modified parts of the WCJ's report, but ultimately affirmed the denial of the petition.
