Tentative Rulings
Case Number: BC573197 Hearing Date: November 15, 2019 Dept: 4A
Petition to Approve Minor’s Compromise
Having considered the petitioning papers, the Court rules as follows. No opposing papers were filed.
BACKGROUND
On March 2, 2015, Plaintiffs Jesus Contreras and Christian Contreras filed a complaint against Defendant Emily Kopit.
On May 26, 2015, Defendant/Cross-Complainant Emily Kopit filed a cross-complaint against Plaintiff/Cross-Defendant Jesus Contreras seeking complete indemnity, partial indemnity, and declaratory relief.
On October 21, 2019, Petitioner Mary Contreras filed a petition to approve compromise of pending action for Plaintiff Christian Contreras.
PARTY’S REQUESTS
Petitioner Mary Contreras (“Petitioner”) asks the Court to grant a petition to approve a compromise of pending action for Plaintiff Christian Contreras (“Claimant”).
LEGAL STANDARD
Pursuant to California Rules of Court, Rule 7.952(a), Petitioner and Claimant are required to attend the hearing on the petition. However, the Court finds that Claimant’s attendance is not required due to his age and the settlement amount.
DISCUSSION
The Court finds the petition is properly approved.
Defendant/Cross-Complainant Emily Kopit is to pay Claimant a gross settlement of $20,000 for a facial abrasion and sprain/strain that Claimant sustained from an automobile collision. $5,662.64 of the gross settlement is to pay for outstanding medical expenses. $662.64 of the $5,662.64 amount is to be paid to a private health insurance or a self-funded plan under a Non-ERISA self-funded plan. $5000 of the $5,662.64 amount is to be paid to West Los Angeles Chiropractic located at 11340 W. Olympic Blvd., Ste. 165, Los Angeles, CA 90064. No attorney’s fees or costs are to be taken from the gross settlement. The remaining net settlement of $14,337.36 is to be deposited in an insured account located at Wells Fargo Bank, Hawthorne Main Branch, 13545 Hawthorne Blvd., Hawthorne, CA 90250 subject to withdrawal only upon the authorization of the Court.
The petition for minor’s compromise filed on October 21, 2019 for Claimant is APPROVED.
The Court shall sign the proposed order approving Claimant’s petition and the proposed order depositing funds into a blocked account, both of which were concurrently filed with the petition.
Petitioner is ordered to give notice of this ruling.
