REYNA MEZA vs. PACPRO MANAGEMENT, Dba COAST SPORTSWEAR, AMERICAN CLAIMS MANAGEMENT for EVEREST NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY, CALIFORNIA INSURANCE GUARANTEE ASSOCIATION, By Its Facilitating Agent, INTERCARE INS. SERVICES, for PAULA INSURANCE COMPANY, In Liquidation

Everest National Insurance Company seeks reconsideration of an arbitrator's decision awarding CIGA $$95,245.36$ in reimbursement for cumulative trauma benefits. Everest argues the arbitrator erred by finding the cumulative trauma extended over the applicant's entire employment, contrary to the Agreed Medical Examiner's (AME) opinion. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, finding the AME's opinion legally flawed and lacking substantial evidence for the extended cumulative trauma period. The matter is remanded to the arbitrator for further proceedings to develop the medical record and render a new decision.
