Stephanie Curry vs. Pacific Care Behavioral Health Care, Inc., The Travelers Insurance Company, Rosemary Cottage, California Insurance Guarantee Association, Fremont Indemnity Company, Sedgwick Claims Management Services

This case concerns a petition for reconsideration regarding a compromise and release settlement in a workers' compensation matter. The applicant, Stephanie Curry, argued that the initial settlement approved by the Board did not accurately reflect the parties' intent, specifically omitting a provision for $7,300 to be paid to her attorney for a loan. The Board granted reconsideration, rescinded its prior approval of the first compromise and release, and approved a second, amended compromise and release that correctly included the attorney's lien provision. The Board found the amended settlement adequate and in the applicant's best interest, noting the prior overpayment by Travelers due to the omission.

Stephanie MOTEN vs. CITY OF LOS ANGELES

This case involves a dispute over Stephanie Moten's permanent disability rating following a work injury. Both the applicant and defendant sought reconsideration of an award of 19% permanent disability. The Appeals Board found the Agreed Medical Evaluator's (AME) permanent disability ratings were not substantial evidence due to improper application of the AMA Guides and failure to properly analyze nerve impairment. Consequently, the Board deferred the issues of permanent disability and attorney's fees, returning the case to the trial level for further proceedings.

GREEN, STEPHANIE vs. STATE OF CALIFORNIA; DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of the WCJ's decisions regarding applicant Stephanie Green's back and psyche injuries from 1990 and 1995. The Board found that further development of the record is required on the issues of permanent disability and apportionment. Specifically, the orthopedic AME's opinions are stale and require re-examination, and both medical and vocational expert opinions need clarification on independent medical judgment regarding apportionment. The cases are returned to the trial level for further proceedings and new decisions by the WCJ.

STEPHANIE CURRY vs. PACIFIC CARE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE, INC., LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed Liberty Mutual Insurance Company's petition for reconsideration. This was because reconsideration is only permitted for final orders that determine substantive rights or liabilities. The Board found that the prior orders in this case were interlocutory procedural matters, not final decisions on ultimate liability. Therefore, the petition was dismissed as being improperly filed.

STEPHANIE WILSON vs. SAN DIMAS COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, THE HARTFORD INSURANCE COMPANY, CORVEL CORPORATION

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of a prior award to applicant Stephanie Wilson. The Board adopted the WCJ's report, which found the defendant's petition untimely filed.
