Summary

Applicant Ana Marquez, acting in pro per, settled her July 10, 2020 left wrist injury claim via a Compromise and Release based on a PTP report finding 0% impairment but recommending future medical care. After signing the C&R, she alleged she attempted to withdraw before defendant accepted and before WCJ approval, and that she was unaware she was waiving future medical care and her right to a panel QME evaluation. The WCJ issued an Order Approving C&R on March 8, 2023 without holding a hearing, and applicant petitioned for reconsideration. The Board held that because no hearing was held, the record was insufficient to determine whether a contract was formed, whether applicant withdrew, and whether the settlement was adequate. The Board dismissed the petition as premature and returned the matter to the trial level, recommending the WCJ treat it as a petition to set aside the OACR and set a hearing.
