CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed Managedmed Inc.'s petition for reconsideration of an order dismissing its lien claim. The dismissal was based on Managedmed's failure to serve a copy of the petition on defense counsel, which is a mandatory procedural requirement. While Managedmed cited computer issues for its initial non-appearance at a lien conference, the Appeals Board found this argument irrelevant to the procedural defect of non-service of the petition. Failure to properly serve is a proper ground for dismissal of a petition for reconsideration.
