CompFox AI Summary
This case involves Transportation Insurance Company's petition for removal, seeking to avoid joinder as a defendant in a workers' compensation claim. Transportation argues they were prejudiced by not having an opportunity to defend against the original claim due to CIGA's alleged failures. The Board denied the petition, finding that Transportation has not yet established significant prejudice or irreparable harm. The joinder order is not final, and Transportation still has the opportunity to litigate the special/general employment issue, which will determine their ultimate liability.
