Satbir Singh vs. Cardinal Freight Fleet, Clarendon National Insurance Company, Protective Insurance Company, SS Delivery, Van Liner Insurance Company
This case involves multiple workers' compensation claims filed by applicant Satbir Singh against various defendants, including Cardinal Freight Fleet and its insurers Clarendon National and Protective Insurance Company. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) is reconsidering prior decisions by the Administrative Law Judge (WCJ). The WCAB has rescinded and substituted decisions for two cases (ADJ7028675 and ADJ5681902), deferring issues of insurance coverage, contribution/apportionment between defendants, and credit for third-party recovery. These deferred issues will be returned to the trial level for further proceedings and decisions by the WCJ. The WCAB affirmed the WCJ's decision in a third case (ADJ7027968) in its entirety.
