Here's a concise summary for a lawyer:
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied TIG Specialty Insurance's petition for removal. TIG sought to reopen discovery, arguing it lacked sufficient evidence to refute internal disability claims against its insured injuries prior to discovery closure. The Board found TIG failed to demonstrate significant prejudice or irreparable harm, noting TIG can seek a section 4060 evaluation if applicant produces new evidence implicating TIG's injuries. Applicant's prior stipulation with another insurer regarding a 100% disability award is not binding on TIG.
