A petition for approval of compromise of claim of minor or adult person with a disability is filed when parties have agreed to settle a claim of a minor or adult person with a disability. The law doesn't allow a minor or person with a disability to settle their own claim without an adult guardian.
A petition to set aside an order approving compromise and release is, in effect, a petition to reopen. It requires a showing of good cause. It is not uncommon that one party alleges "mutual mistake," while the other party asserts the mistake was unilateral. This is ultimately decided by the trier of fact.
By way of background, the Pennsylvania Compromise and Release is a settlement agreement that must specifically state the terms relating to an injured worker's wage loss and medical benefits.
Reconsideration may be had only of a final order. The appeals board has power to grant reconsideration on its own motion at any time within 60 days after filing of a final decision, but it most frequently acts upon the petition of a party. An adverse party may file an answer within 10 days.
A compromise exists where parties agree to settle previously disputed or uncertain obligations. Like any other agreement, a compromise is based on the contractual rules of offer and acceptance, with each party conceding something, either by diminishing their alleged claim or by conceding or increasing their liability.
To compensate is to offset (or conceal) a psychological or physical difficulty by developing in another direction. To compromise is to allow your environment impose upon you and for you to come up with the best plan of action within those boundaries by making concessions.
An offer of compromise is a formal offer to settle proceedings ing to the rules of the relative Court. If you are involved in a dispute with another person or business, going to trial/hearing can be expensive, time-consuming, distracting and uncertain.
By signing the release, you agree to waive your right to pursue any further legal action in connection with the injury and accident specified in the settlement. Once you execute a release, you also cannot file any claims for injuries stemming from the incident that might not arise until later.
