CompFox AI Summary

This case involves an appeal by ACE USA regarding a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board decision that found applicant Humberto Rivas sustained cumulative injuries to both arms while employed by Universal Alloy Corporation. The Board granted reconsideration, primarily because ACE USA argued it was denied due process concerning reimbursement to CIGA. The Board affirmed the applicant's award but rescinded the findings on credit and reimbursement, returning these issues to the trial level for further proceedings. This ensures ACE USA and CIGA have a proper opportunity to address their respective liabilities and reimbursements.
