CompFox AI Summary
Applicant Reggie DuPard sought reconsideration of a decision barring his California workers' compensation claim. The Administrative Law Judge found the claim barred by a 2004 General Release settlement agreement with the Washington Redskins and Hartford Insurance Company, which DuPard had signed in Maryland for a specific right hip injury. DuPard argued the release only covered that injury, but the Board found the language clearly encompassed all potential claims against the employer and insurer. Therefore, the Board denied reconsideration, deeming the claim barred by the comprehensive settlement.
