WILLIAM GREEN vs. RPK DEVELOPMENT INC., CYPRESS INSURANCE, Administered by BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY HOMESTATE COMPANIES, INC., FARMERS INSURANCE

This case involves a lien claimant's petition for reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) decision regarding payment for medical-legal expenses. The claimant argues that the defendant's objection letters to certain invoices were procedurally deficient, thereby waiving all objections under Otis v. City of Los Angeles. The WCAB granted reconsideration, rescinded the prior findings, and returned the matter for further proceedings. This action is due to uncertainty regarding the procedural compliance of the defendant's objection letters and to allow further development of the record on specific disputed invoices.
