CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Med-Legal Photocopy's petition for reconsideration, upholding the administrative law judge's decision. The lien claim was found to be untimely and barred by the 18-month statute of limitations under Labor Code section 4903.5(a) because the services were rendered on September 25, 2013, and the lien was filed on June 29, 2015. The Board found that an invoice dated December 30, 2013, did not constitute a new date of service as the underlying work was performed earlier. Therefore, the lien claimant took nothing on its claim.
