The applicant sustained two industrial injuries as a secretary in 1994 and 1996. The Appeals Board affirmed the WCJ's decisions, finding applicant is 100% permanently disabled and ordered apportionment between the two injuries. The Board amended the decisions to include the left hip in the 1994 injury and clarified CIGA's role as a guarantor, not an insurer. CIGA was relieved of administering future medical treatment awards, and reimbursement from the self-insured employer can be pursued in supplemental proceedings.
