CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Frontline Medical Associates' (FMA) petition for reconsideration, upholding the dismissal of its lien. FMA failed to appear at a scheduled lien trial, leading to a Notice of Intent to Dismiss and ultimately an Order Dismissing Lien. The Board found FMA's claim of "excusable neglect" due to their prior counsel's alleged failure to notify them of the trial unconvincing, as FMA and their representative, Controlled Health Management, had received proper notice. The Board concluded FMA failed to demonstrate good cause to set aside the dismissal order.
