Injury / body parts: left hand

CCR §10700

Summary

Applicant Dareus Dawson, a maintenance technician, sustained an admitted left hand injury on December 6, 2019, and executed a Compromise and Release on July 20, 2021, which the WCJ approved on August 5, 2021. The settlement was based on the PQME report of Dr. William Brose, which the WCJ found to constitute substantial evidence and the settlement adequate. After his bank account was levied for unpaid child support, Dawson dismissed his attorney and filed a Petition to Set Aside the C&R approximately 384 days after the Order Approving issued, claiming he never agreed to it and his rights were not explained. The WCJ denied the petition, finding Dawson not credible due to inconsistencies between his testimony and his Petition, and that his attorney had reviewed the settlement and exerted no undue influence. The Appeals Board adopted and incorporated the WCJ's report and denied reconsideration.
