DENNIS BAKANOSKI (DEC.) vs. UNIVERSITY MARELICH MECHANICAL, ZURICH AMERICAN INS. CO., BECHTEL POWER CORP., INS. CO. OF THE STATE OF PENN

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration of a prior award because the applicant and defendants reached a Compromise and Release agreement. The original award addressed temporary and permanent disability benefits for a deceased worker, Dennis Bakanoski, and determined liability between two employers and their insurers. The WCAB rescinded the prior award and remanded the case to the trial level to consider the Compromise and Release agreement. If approved, the agreement will resolve the outstanding claims; otherwise, a new award will be issued.
