CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the prior award, and returned the case for further proceedings. The Board found the previous decision ambiguous regarding liability apportionment between defendants and inconsistent with current apportionment law, specifically citing the need to apply Benson v. The Permanente Medical Group. The WCJ must now reconsider apportionment of permanent and temporary disability based on causation, address the administration of the award, and clarify CIGA's liability.
