Description
Claimant was injured in an occupational accident which occurred on September 15, 1986. On June 17, 1988 claimant filed a claim for workers' compensation seeking certain benefits. In his claim, claimant stated that his wages at the time of the accident were $7.50 per hour. After the informal resolution process, claimant and employer jointly filed a petition for settlement approval with the Administration. Pursuant to the petition, a settlement agreement was entered into between claimant and employer. In December 1988, the settlement agreement was approved by the WCJ and filed with the Administration. The approved settlement agreement provided that claimant receive reasonable and necessary medical care and treatment, as well as vocational rehabilitation; that certain medical bills be paid; that claimant waived any right to an increase in benefits that may have been appropriate by lack of use of a safety device; and that there was no agreement regarding attorney fees. The settlement agreement reserved only the issue of permanent disability until claimant achieved maximum medical improvement.
