CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed the Administrative Law Judge's decision to deny a lien claimant's request for payment for medical treatment. The lien claimant failed to properly disclose crucial exhibits during discovery, and the medical evidence presented did not sufficiently demonstrate that the treatment provided was for an industrially related injury. Specifically, the physician's reports did not conclusively establish treatment for the claimed right shoulder injury or any industrial causation. Therefore, the Board found that the lien claimant did not meet its burden of proof.
