Sec. 4. If after seven (7) days from the date of the injury or at any
time in case of death, the employer and the injured employee or his
dependents reach an agreement in regard to compensation under
IC 22-3-2 through IC 22-3-6, a memorandum of the agreement in the
form prescribed by the worker's compensation board shall be filed
with the board; otherwise such agreement shall be voidable by the
employee or his dependent. If approved by the board, thereupon the
memorandum shall for all purposes be enforceable by court decree
as specified in section 9 of this chapter. Such agreement shall be
approved by said board only when the terms conform to the
provisions of IC 22-3-2 through IC 22-3-6.
