CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration of a prior Findings and Order (F&O) that directed New Hampshire Insurance Company to administer a claim for CIGA. New Hampshire disputed joint and several liability, arguing no overlap between the applicant's 1998 and 2013 injuries. The WCAB found insufficient medical evidence on the causation of treatment for specific body parts, noting the existing medical opinions were cursory and primarily focused on disability apportionment. Consequently, the Board rescinded the F&O and remanded the case to the trial level for further development of the medical record regarding treatment causation.
