GEORGINA HERNANDEZ vs. PIONEER TRADING, INC./OMNI FOODS, GRANITE STATE INSURANCE COMPANY, as administered by CHARTIS CLAIMS, INC.

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Pioneer Trading, Inc.'s petition for reconsideration in this matter. The Board adopted the WCJ's report, noting that the original award did not preclude a compromise and release. Furthermore, over a month had passed since the petition without a settlement being filed, and no effort was made to inform the WCJ of the alleged settlement agreement.
