CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a lien claimant, Med-Legal Photocopy, seeking payment for copying services related to an applicant's workers' compensation claim. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the lien claimant's petition for reconsideration. The primary issue was whether the lien claimant's services were compensable under Labor Code section 5307.9, which mandates a 30-day waiting period after an employer/insurer request for records before payment for copying services is allowed. The Board found that the applicant's attorney did not wait the requisite 30 days before issuing subpoenas for the records, thus disallowing the lien.
