JEFFERY HANDY vs. RONALD HUMPHREY, dba, ROOTERMAN

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of the original decision denying the applicant's claim for a back injury. This rescission was based on a settlement reached between the applicant and the Uninsured Employers Benefit Trust Fund via a Compromise and Release. The case is now returned to the trial level for the Administrative Law Judge to review the settlement. If the settlement is not approved, the original denial decision may be reinstated.
