Opinion
DANIELSON, J.
Petitioner, J. DeWitt Fox, M.D., filed a series of medical liens from 1979 to 1987 for treatment of an industrially injured employee, Allen Hudson. The treatment included back surgery. The unpaid medical bills totalled approximately $59,253.17. Since 1987, Dr. Fox has been unable to obtain a hearing on the merits of his medical lien claim before a workers’ compensation judge (WCJ). We issued a writ of review. We annul the order of respondent Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (Board) denying Dr. Fox relief from default, and remand to the Board with directions.
