CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the lien claimant's petition for reconsideration, upholding the administrative law judge's decision to disallow the lien. The lien claimant failed to meet its burden of proof to establish that the incurred expenses for subpoenas were reasonable and necessary for a contested claim. The Board found that the mere issuance of subpoenas did not demonstrate a contested claim or the necessity of the records, especially since the injury was admitted and records may have already been provided. Therefore, the lien was denied as the claimant did not prove entitlement to payment for valid medical-legal expenses.
