SERGIO ZAMORA vs. TAYLOR FRESH FOODS, ZÜRICH NORTH AMERICA

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration of a Findings and Award that determined the applicant sustained a 100% permanent disability due to an industrial injury. The defendant argued the WCJ erred in deeming the applicant unemployable and sought apportionment of psychiatric disability. However, the parties subsequently reached a settlement agreement via Compromise and Release. Consequently, the Board rescinded the original award and returned the matter to the trial level for settlement finalization.
