CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration, affirming the finding of dual employers: Consolidated Personnel Corp. (CPC) as the general employer and Bridgestone/Firestone (B/F) as the special employer. Despite CPC's insurer (Legion) being insolvent and CIGA being involved, B/F's insurer (ICSP) was found liable as "other insurance" because its policy covered B/F's joint and several liability to the applicant. The Board upheld that CIGA is relieved of obligation when other insurance is available, as per statute. Therefore, ICSP is responsible for the applicant's industrial injury benefits.
