Jaime Medina, vs. Barrett Business Services; Permissibly Self-insured,

This case involves Jaime Medina and Barrett Business Services, who were in dispute over a workers' compensation claim. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to further study the legal and factual issues raised by the Petition for Reconsideration. The parties have since reached a settlement and the Board has rescinded the Findings and Award to return the parties to the status quo ante so the parties may submit their proposed settlement to the workers' compensation administrative law judge for a review of its adequacy.
