NANCY ANN WILLIAMSON vs. XP FORESIGHT ELECTRONICS, INC., LUMBERMANS MUTUAL CASUALTY COMPANY, BROADSPIRE, a CRAWFORD COMPANY

This Workers' Compensation Appeals Board case involved a defendant challenging a Finding and Award regarding a medical lien. The defendant argued the awarded lien amount was unreasonable, citing procedural errors and witness bias, and also disputed the imposition of interest and penalties. The Board granted reconsideration to correct a clerical error, reducing the penalty increase for unpaid charges from 15% to 10% as per statutory guidance. The Board otherwise affirmed the original decision, finding the lien claimant's charges reasonable and the imposition of interest warranted.
