CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration to lien claimants Preferred Scan and Tower Imaging, rescinding the dismissal of their liens. The WCAB found that the notices of representation filed by the lien claimants' representative at the lien trial, despite not being formal "change of representation" notices, were sufficient under WCAB Rule 10774.5(e)(2) because no prior representation notice was on file. The matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings before a different judge.
