As published on adjustercom on August 14th 2017, the DWC announced the dismissal of 292,000 unresolved liens. Senate Bill 1160 amended Labor Code section 4903.05(c) to require lien claimants to file a declaration verifying the legitimacy of liens for medical treatment or medical-legal expenses. Claimants who had filed liens between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2016, were required to file the declarations by July 1, 2017, to avoid having those liens dismissed.
