LC §4903.8

Summary

Lien claimant Missirian Orthopedic filed liens in December 2012 in two consolidated claims that were later settled by a 2017 compromise and release. At a 2023 lien trial, the WCJ dismissed the lien by operation of law, finding that Missirian failed to meet its burden of proving it timely filed a declaration under Labor Code section 4903.8(d). The Board granted reconsideration, holding that section 4903.8(d) provides no consequence (dismissal or invalidity) for failure to timely file a declaration on liens filed before January 1, 2013, relying on the persuasive reasoning in Athens Administrators (Perales). The F&O was rescinded and the matter returned to the WCJ to consider the remaining issues regarding the lien claimant's entitlement to payment.
