CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns whether a self-insured special employer's coverage constitutes "other insurance" that would relieve the California Insurance Guarantee Association (CIGA) of liability for an injured worker's benefits. The Appeals Board denied reconsideration, affirming the administrative law judge's finding that ITT, a permissibly self-insured special employer, was liable for benefits. The Board relied on precedent establishing that self-insurance by an employer is considered "other insurance" under relevant statutes, thus excluding CIGA's coverage.
