CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns a workers' compensation claim where the applicant was a special employee of the County of Los Angeles and a general employee of PDQ Personnel Services, whose insurer, Superior National, became insolvent. CIGA contended its liability was excluded because the County's self-insurance constituted "other insurance" under Insurance Code section 1063.1(c)(9)(A). The WCAB granted reconsideration to clarify that, based on prior Court of Appeal rulings and collateral estoppel, the County's self-insurance is indeed "other insurance," thus absolving CIGA of liability. The WCAB amended the findings to explicitly state this determination.
