Thomas Martinez vs. Ralphs Grocery Company, Permissibly Self-insured; Administered By Sedgwick Claims Management Services,
In this case, Thomas Martinez filed a workers’ compensation claim against Ralphs Grocery Company, which was permissibly self-insured and administered by Sedgwick Claims Management Services. The Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to study the factual and legal issues presented. After a voluntary mediation through a commissioners’ settlement conference, the representatives for Ralphs Grocery Company and the Motion Picture Health Fund (MPHF) filed a written agreement resolving the lien. The Board then rescinded the WCJ’s Findings and Orders, approved the lien settlement agreement, and dismissed Ralphs Grocery Company’s Petition for Reconsideration on the ground that it was moot.
