SHARON CANDLER vs. THE CUSTOMER COMPANY / CIGARETTES CHEAPER, CALIFORNIA INSURANCE GUARANTEE ASSOCIATION for SUPERIOR NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANIES, BROADSPIRE

The Board rescinded findings for two psychiatric injuries due to the applicant's short employment duration, finding them not "sudden and extraordinary." The claim stemming from a robbery and assault was remanded for further proceedings on temporary disability and medical treatment, with orthopedic injuries also deferred pending this development. The Board also ruled that CIGA cannot be ordered to pay temporary disability benefits that the applicant must then reimburse to EDD, as this circumvents statutory limitations on CIGA's liability to the state.
