Hugo Rosales, Appellant v. Icicle Seafoods, Inc. and Seabright Insurance Co., Appellees

Summary

The court affirmed the Commission's decision upholding approval of Rosales's global settlement of his workers' compensation and maritime claims. It held that the Board had jurisdiction to approve the workers' compensation portion, that omitted medical records did not constitute reversible error, and that substantial evidence supported rejection of Rosales's misrepresentation and duress claims. The court also held that the Board chairperson was not disqualified based solely on prior representation of an interested insurer in an unrelated matter.
