Summary

Defendant Star Insurance Company (administered by Meadowbrook) sought reconsideration of a WCJ's Findings and Award ordering reimbursement to lien claimants CityWide Scanning and Tower Copy for copy/subpoena services in a farm laborer's injury claim. The WCJ allowed certain charges incurred after a contested claim existed (12/02/2014) while disallowing pre-application, duplicative, and publicly available records charges. Defendant argued there was no contested claim, that the records were not relevant, and that charges were unreasonable. The Board first found the petition timely because service of the WCJ's decision was defective (received June 22, 2021, with a July 19, 2021 deadline). On the merits, the Board adopted and incorporated the WCJ's Report and Opinion and denied reconsideration.
