CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a workers' compensation applicant who sustained both a specific low back and psyche injury in 1997 and a cumulative trauma injury to multiple body parts over a later period. The defendant, Valley Forge Insurance, sought reconsideration of the Findings and Awards, primarily arguing it should not be responsible for administering the 1997 specific injury award, which was correctly assigned to CIGA. The Board denied reconsideration, affirming the original decision, and also addressed premature arguments regarding EDD liens and potential third-party liability.
