ARSHED QAZI vs. THE BOEING COMPANY, ACE AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY

This case concerns Arshed Qazi's claim for 100% permanent disability due to an industrial injury sustained in 2005. The defendant, Boeing Company, sought reconsideration of the initial award, arguing the applicant failed to adequately rebut the permanent disability rating schedule. The appeals board rescinded the award and returned the case to the trial level for further proceedings. Issues to be addressed include whether the vocational expert's opinion considered non-industrial factors and developed the applicant's retirement circumstances and job market search limitations appropriately.

JEANINE BRINKER vs. THE BOEING COMPANY, BROADSPIRE, Third Party Administrator For ACE INSURANCE COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed The Boeing Company and Broadspire/ACE's petition for removal because it was filed three days late. The petition sought to rescind a prior order that had returned the case to the trial level for further proceedings regarding a lien claimant. Even if considered on its merits, the petition would have been denied due to a lack of demonstrated significant prejudice or irreparable harm.

Deborah Gross (Butler) vs. MCDONNELL DOUGLAS; CIGA through its servicing facility, CAMBRIDGE INTEGRATED SERVICES GROUP, for FREMONT for INDUSTRIAL INDEMNITY, in liquidation, The Boeing Company c/o AIG Claims Services

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration, affirming the judge's findings on three industrial injuries to her neck, shoulder, and back. The Board dismissed "The Boeing Company's" petition for reconsideration because it was unverified and because Boeing was not currently a party aggrieved by an award. The applicant's arguments regarding simultaneous permanency, disability reduction, and the application of medical opinions were rejected. The Board adopted the judge's report and reasoning in its decision.

HAHN AUTOMOTIVE WAREHOUSE, INC. v. AMERICAN ZURICH INSURANCE COMPANY

Hahn Automotive Warehouse, Inc. (plaintiff) initiated a breach of contract action against American Zurich Insurance Company and Zurich American Insurance Company (defendants), contending that bills issued under insurance contracts were time-barred. Defendants counterclaimed for damages stemming from plaintiff's alleged breach of these contracts. The Supreme Court partially granted plaintiff's cross-motion, deeming counterclaims for debts arising over six years prior as time-barred. Concurrently, it permitted defendants to utilize a $400,000 letter of credit to satisfy any outstanding debt, including those deemed time-barred. On appeal, the Appellate Division affirmed the use of the letter of credit for time-barred debts, reasoning that the statute of limitations only bars the remedy, not the underlying obligation. The court also affirmed that defendants' counterclaims for debts over six years old were time-barred, as the right to demand payment accrued earlier. Finally, the court modified the order to dismiss plaintiff's second through fourth causes of action. A dissenting opinion argued that the counterclaims were not time-barred, asserting that the cause of action accrued upon demand and refusal of payment, not merely when the right to demand payment existed.

Hakim v. Armstrong Rubber Co.

Joseph Hakim initiated a negligence action seeking damages for personal injuries after a forklift tire he was changing exploded. He alleged that Armstrong Rubber Company negligently designed and manufactured the tire, Firestone Tire & Rubber Company negligently designed and manufactured the wheel rim, and Clark Equipment Company negligently manufactured and failed to inspect the forklift. Armstrong and Firestone successfully moved for summary judgment by presenting evidence that they did not manufacture the specific tire or rim involved, which Hakim failed to rebut with sufficient evidence. Conversely, Clark Equipment Company's motion for summary judgment was denied due to its failure to provide any evidence disproving its involvement in the forklift's manufacture or inspection.

Homestead Village Assoc., L.P. v. Diamond State Insurance

Plaintiff Homestead Village Associates, LP sued its insurers, Diamond State Insurance Company and Chubb Insurance Company of New Jersey, seeking a declaratory judgment regarding their duty to defend and indemnify Homestead in a personal injury action. Homestead also sued its insurance broker, Capacity Coverage Company of New Jersey, for breach of contract and negligence due to late notification of the accident. All parties cross-moved for summary judgment. The court granted Diamond's motion, finding Homestead's 16-month delay in notification unreasonable. Chubb's motion was granted in part and denied in part, as the court found late notice from Homestead, but a factual dispute remained regarding Chubb's timely disclaimer. The court also clarified that Chubb's excess policy would not 'drop down' to cover primary obligations and it had no duty to defend. Homestead's and Capacity's cross-motions for summary judgment were denied, with factual disputes remaining regarding a special relationship and Capacity's knowledge of the accident's seriousness.

MARGARITA GIUSTRA vs. PRIMARY PROVIDER MANAGEMENT, NATIONAL LIABILITY AND FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY, DELOS INSURANCE COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Delos Insurance Company's petition for reconsideration. The Board adopted the arbitrator's report, which found that a prior Compromise and Release agreement between the applicant and Delos Insurance Company only settled a specific injury, not the continuous trauma claim. This decision allowed National Liability and Fire Insurance Company's petition for contribution against Delos Insurance Company for a portion of benefits paid for the continuous trauma injury. The arbitrator also determined that prior conflicting judicial decisions did not bar Delos Insurance Company from being joined in the contribution proceedings.
