JAIME RAMIREZ vs. GARDEN GROVE CONVALESCENT HOSPITAL, CALIFORNIA SELF-INSURED SECURITY FUND, Administered by METRO RISK MANAGEMENT

The Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded a Joint Order Approving Compromise and Release due to a mutual mistake in calculating permanent disability advances. The defendant correctly asserted that the settlement agreement inaccurately listed advances as $13,208.57 when they were actually $17,929.90. This resulted in an incorrect net settlement amount for the applicant. The matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings to address the miscalculation.
