CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted Wausau's petition for reconsideration to correct a coverage date error, finding Wausau's insurance coverage ended before the applicant's last year of injurious exposure. Consequently, Wausau was dismissed as a party defendant, and Lockheed Martin, self-insured and administered by Helmsman, was found solely liable for benefits. Helmsman's petition for reconsideration was denied due to its inadequacy and failure to comply with procedural rules. The original award of 83% permanent disability and need for future medical care was otherwise affirmed.
