CompFox AI Summary

This case concerns a deceased worker's cumulative injury claims against multiple insurers. The Appeals Board rescinded the arbitrator's decision, finding that crucial findings regarding the period of cumulative injury and whether the worker was an employee were missing. The Board remanded the case for the arbitrator to determine the precise injury dates, body parts affected, and the insurer(s) liable during the statutory period. This is necessary to ascertain if TIG Insurance provided coverage and thus constitutes "other insurance" before determining CIGA's liability.
