This case concerns CIGA's petition for reconsideration after an arbitrator denied its claim for reimbursement for post-liquidation benefits and ongoing medical care administration. CIGA argued that Zurich was "other insurance" due to a subsequent injury to the same body part, necessitating reimbursement and relieving CIGA of future medical care responsibilities. However, CIGA failed to provide sufficient medical evidence demonstrating that the subsequent injury contributed to the same period of temporary disability and medical treatment needs. Therefore, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied CIGA's petition for reconsideration, upholding the arbitrator's original findings.
