JOYCELYN ADAMS vs. COMPTON UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, GALLAGHER BASSETT

This case involves a lien claimant, L.A. Regional Surgical Center, petitioning for reconsideration after its lien was dismissed for failure to pay an activation fee. The lien claimant argued an inability to pay due to EAMS system maintenance. However, the Administrative Law Judge noted no proof was offered for this claim and the claimant failed to inform the judge of any payment issues. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the petition, adopting the judge's report which found the lien claimant had ample opportunity to pay the required fee.
