CHESTER HODGE vs. DIMARE FRESH, INC., STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and increased the applicant's former attorney's fee from $600.00 to $1,200.00. This decision recognizes the attorney's successful efforts in invalidating an unfavorable Qualified Medical Evaluator report, which significantly improved the applicant's settlement position. Despite the applicant ultimately settling without further counsel, the Board found the increased fee to be equitable based on the attorney's substantial work and the benefit derived.
