FAQ
Generally, the workers' compensation settlements range from $2,000 to $40,000, although some may settle for millions.
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.
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.
The local district office of the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) that issued the decision must get your petition within 20 days from the date the decision was issued. If the judge's decision was mailed to your residence in California, the local district office must receive your petition within 25 days.
– The motion for reconsideration shall be filed within fifteen (15) days from notice of the decision or resolution and a copy thereof shall be served on the adverse party. The period of filing a motion for reconsideration is non-extendible.
A reconsideration appeal can usually be decided in as little as four weeks or as long as twelve weeks; whereas an application for disability can take as long as six months (usually, if it takes this long it is due to difficulties in procuring medical records from various doctors and other medical providers).
The deadline to file a Motion for Reconsideration will be a certain period of time after the judge has issued the order that you would like to have reconsidered or after you are served with the order, often between 14 and 30 days. You may want to speak with a lawyer in your state about the time line to file a motion.
