CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns a workers' compensation claim for an employee injured while working for a general employer (PDQ) and a special employer (County of Los Angeles). The California Insurance Guarantee Association (CIGA) sought reconsideration after an order found them solely liable. The Appeals Board reversed, finding the County of Los Angeles, as a self-insured entity, is solely liable for benefits because its self-insurance constitutes "other insurance" under relevant statutes, excluding CIGA's coverage.
