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 erred in ordering lien claimant to take nothing on its lien because the admitted injury to the right knee was not properly brought to the WCJ's attention, and defendant failed to produce a denial letter for the claim, warranting reconsideration and further proceedings.
From the decision · page 1Lien claimant, Physical Rehabilitation Services, Inc., seeks reconsideration of the "Findings and Award" (F&A) issued on January 29, 2026, by the workers' compensation administrative law judge (WCJ). The WCJ found, in pertinent part, that lien claimant failed to prove that applicant sustained industrial injury and "awarded" lien claimant nothing on its lien claim.1
