JOHN SHEA vs. PROPSERV, INC., CENTRE INSURANCE. COMPANY., CIGA For CALCOMP, In Liquidation

The California Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed the Arbitrator's decision denying CIGA's requests for contribution and reimbursement from Centre Insurance Company. CIGA stipulated to liability for the injury date in 2000, and the Board found that CIGA's subsequent claims of mistake were untimely and lacked good cause to reopen a final award. The Board emphasized the importance of finality in awards and that CIGA failed to timely raise equitable arguments. Therefore, CIGA's appeal for contribution and reimbursement was unsuccessful.
