LANESHA RICE vs. ACCURATE PERSONNEL, LLC, ZURICH NORTH AMERICA

Defendant Accurate Personnel sought reconsideration of a workers' compensation award, arguing a mutual mistake in calculating the applicant's permanent disability rate. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the petition, affirming the original award. The Board found no evidence of mutual mistake, noting that the applicant denied it and the defendant failed to prove the applicant knew of and benefited from any alleged error. The Board concluded the defendant's claim stemmed from a unilateral mistake due to neglect, which does not constitute good cause to set aside a stipulation.
