Organization: Department of Industrial Accidents
Docket Number: DIA Board No. 003626-89
Location: Boston

WILSON, J. The claimant estate sought approval and enforcement of an agreement to settle the employee’s workers’ compensation case by lump sum agreement under G.L. c. 152, §48. The employee died before the lump sum agreement was signed by the insurer and approved by the Department. An administrative judge determined that he lacked authority under the Act to order enforcement and denied the claim. We disagree, and conclude that the lump sum agreement was enforceable as a matter of law.
