CA Nurse Life Care Planning v. WCAB
California Nurse Life Care Planning, Inc. (CNLCP) petitions for a writ of review from a decision of the Workers Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB). (Lab. Code,[1] 5950, 5952; Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.494.) CNLCP contends the WCAB erred and abused its discretion by not awarding reimbursement for a life care plan prepared for purposes of obtaining a settlement in a workers compensation action involving a catastrophically injured employee. Finding no evidence or legal support for the proposition that the report was required or necessary in the proceedings, Court conclude the WCAB reasonably denied the lien within its discretionary powers.
