JOHN ERICK RITCHIE vs. CMC/FONTANA STEEL, ACE USA

The applicant sought reconsideration of an award for industrial injuries, primarily arguing the $15\%$ penalty for delayed payments was too low. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration, rescinded the original decision, and returned the matter for further proceedings. The WCAB clarified that statutory interest for delayed payments is $10\%$ and any accrued interest on attorney fees must be paid to the attorney. The WCAB also noted ambiguity regarding penalties for delayed attorney fees, stating such penalties are payable to the applicant.
