GREGORY BRIDGES vs. FILM PAYMENT SERVICES, INC., CALIFORNIA INSURANCE GUARANTEE ASSOCIATION for LEGION INSURANCE COMPANY, in liquidation, by BROADSPIRE, KELLEY PRODUCTIONS, INC., NATIONAL SURETY CORPORATION now FIREMAN'S FUND

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) rescinded a previous award and returned the case for further proceedings to determine if the special employer's insurer, National Surety Corporation, provides "other insurance" under Insurance Code section 1063.1(c)(9). The WCAB ruled that a prior appellate decision did not collaterally estop CIGA from asserting this issue and found that the National Surety Corporation policy may constitute such "other insurance." The case now requires a determination on the merits of whether National Surety Corporation's policy is available to applicant, impacting CIGA's liability.
