CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns American Motorists Insurance Company's petition for reconsideration of a Joint Findings and Award. The original award addressed two admitted industrial injuries sustained by the applicant, one against Fresno Unified School District (FUSD) and another against United Artists Theatre Circuit, insured by American Motorists. The petition specifically challenges the WCJ's failure to incorporate a stipulated liability apportionment between the defendants into the award. The Appeals Board denied the petition, ruling that the WCJ correctly deferred the issue of contribution between co-defendants, as they remain jointly and severally liable to the applicant.
