CompFox AI Summary

In this workers' compensation case, the applicant sustained an industrial injury in 2007. The administrative law judge (WCJ) previously denied a lien claim for $$3,935.00$ from Industrial Psychiatric Network, finding no substantial medical evidence supported the necessity of their treatment for the admitted orthopedic injury. The lien claimant sought reconsideration, arguing their treatment was necessary for the industrial injury. However, the Appeals Board dismissed the petition for reconsideration as untimely, as it was filed more than 25 days after the WCJ's decision was served by mail. Therefore, the lien claimant's petition is dismissed due to jurisdictional untimeliness.
