CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns AIG's petition for reconsideration of a supplemental workers' compensation award. The Appeals Board affirmed an administrative law judge's decision that relieved CIGA of liability and placed the full burden on AIG for an applicant's injury award. The Court found that because AIG was a solvent insurer with joint and several liability, CIGA was not responsible for benefits as it constituted a "non-covered claim" under statute. Therefore, AIG is liable for all benefits after the liquidation of CIGA's underlying insurer.
