Summary

Applicant, an electrician for CalTrans, filed two claims: a specific back injury (ADJ16808767, DOI 5/29/2020) and a cumulative back injury (ADJ17438570, DOI 5/29/2019-5/29/2020). On July 25, 2023, the WCJ approved a Stipulations with Request for Award in the specific injury case and dismissed the cumulative injury case as duplicative. Applicant, in pro per after dismissing his attorney, sought reconsideration arguing he did not understand the hearing was to settle his claim (the notice listed him as deceased), that his attorney settled without consulting him, and that his attorney was unresponsive. The Board granted reconsideration, finding the record insufficient to establish mutual consent and whether a valid contract was formed, noting the stipulations conflated the two cases and the dismissal order was partially illegible. The Board rescinded both the Award and the dismissal Order and returned the matter to the WCJ for further proceedings.
