NASRI BAKRI vs. COSTCO WHOLESALE, HELMSMAN MANAGEMENT SERVICES, LLC
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied NASRI BAKRI's petition for reconsideration regarding a lien claim by Premier Psychological Services. The Board upheld the Workers' Compensation Judge's finding that the applicant's claimed psychological and neurological injuries were non-industrial. Furthermore, Dr. Michaels' medical-legal report, which formed the basis of the lien claim, was deemed not to constitute substantial medical evidence due to insufficient foundation and a lack of comprehensive history. Consequently, Premier's lien claim for both medical-legal and treatment costs was denied in full.
