What was disputed, and how it came out
Each issue the panel decided, with the reasoning it gave. An outcome is what this panel did on this record — not a rule, and not a prediction.
The WCJ initially found the lien claimant failed to establish the services were reasonable and actually provided, but the parties later settled and the WCAB approved the settlement, resolving the dispute in favor of the lien claimant.
From the decision · page 1Lien Claimant, Beatriz Campos Interpreting petitioned for reconsideration of the Joint Findings of Fact and Orders issued by the workers' compensation administrative law judge (WCJ) in this matter on August 18, 2021. In that decision, the WCJ found that the lien claimant failed to establish that its services were reasonably and actually provided in ADJ9972070, and that they failed to prove applicant sustained injury arising out of and in the course of employment in ADJ7005764. The WCJ ordered that Beatriz Campos Interpreting take nothing and disallowed their lien as to both cases.
