LINDA AIELLO vs. LIBRARY SYSTEMS & SERVICES, LLC, FIRST COMP OMAHA For SOUTHERN INSURANCE COMPANY, THE HARTFORD INSURANCE COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Linda Aiello's petition for reconsideration of her settlement. The Board adopted the administrative law judge's report, which found the settlement adequate and rejected Aiello's claims of newly discovered evidence. Aiello's contention that she didn't see medical reports before signing the settlement was dismissed, noting she was represented by counsel who negotiated the agreement. The judge also noted Aiello's petition should have been dismissed due to improper service on the defendants.
