MARTHA ARIAS vs. CUSTOM FOODS PRODUCTS, INC., FIREMAN'S FUND, CALIFORNIA INSURANCE GUARANTEE ASSOCIATION, BROADSPIRE SERVICES, INC., SUPERIOR NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY

This case concerns CIGA's petition for reconsideration of a denial of reimbursement from Fireman's Fund for workers' compensation benefits paid to Martha Arias. CIGA sought reimbursement, arguing Fireman's Fund's coverage for other injuries constituted "other insurance." However, the WCAB denied CIGA's petition, adopting the WCJ's reasoning that CIGA failed to prove applicant's injuries in the other cases contributed to the benefits CIGA paid. CIGA had the burden of establishing entitlement to reimbursement under the "other insurance" provision, which it did not meet.
