CompFox AI Summary
In this workers' compensation case, the applicant sustained an injury in 1999 while employed by both RN Network (general employer) and Kaiser Permanente (special employer). The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Kaiser's petition for reconsideration, affirming the dismissal of CIGA and holding Kaiser solely liable. The Board found that Kaiser's self-insured status constituted "other insurance" under Insurance Code section 1063.1(c)(9), thereby precluding CIGA's liability, regardless of contractual agreements between the employers attempting to shift liability.
