CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a prior decision that disallowed a lien claimant's claim for over $2,000,000. The Board found the original decision lacked sufficient reasoning and did not adequately address the reasonableness and necessity of the claimant's billing. Due process requires further development of the record to allow for a complete adjudication of the issues. Therefore, the case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings and a new decision.
