JOSE LUIS VALENCIA, (JOSE L. VALENCIA-CASTANEDA) vs. CAGWIN & DORWARD, ULICO CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration on its own motion to review an order approving a $125,000 compromise and release. The applicant sought to set aside the order, alleging the settlement was inadequate and that he felt pressured by the judge. The Board found it necessary to further study the factual and legal issues to ensure a just decision. All future filings are to be directed to the Board's main office, not a district office.
