Description

Submitted: March 24, 2000 OPINION Strawbridge & Clothier (Employer) petitions this Court for review of an order from a divided Workers' Compensation Appeal Board (Board). The Board affirmed the decision of a Workers' Compensation Judge (WCJ), which had dismissed Employer's petition seeking approval of a Compromise and Release Agreement and reinstating the benefits of Elizabeth McGee (Claimant). We affirm. The record indicates that Claimant fell at work on October 28, 1995, and sustained a right knee strain. Employer executed a notice of compensation payable (NCP) accepting responsibility, and Claimant began receiving benefits. In the spring of 1998, Employer contacted Claimant and offered her a lump sum payment of $16,000 in exchange for a full release from all further liability. Claimant signed a Compromise and Release Agreement on May 20, 1998, and the parties appeared, on that date, before the WCJ to facilitate the approval required by statute. The WCJ questioned Claimant in an effort to determine whether the Claimant, who was unrepresented by counsel, understood the legal significance of the agreement that she had signed. Claimant stated that she did understand that she was releasing Employer from any further liability and confirmed that she had signed the agreement of her own free will.
