ROBERT FROELICH vs. CONTRACTORS LABOR POOL, INC., CALIFORNIA INSURANCE GUARANTEE ASSOCATION, RELIANCE NATIONAL INSURANCE CO., GM NORTHROP CORP., NATIONAL FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY OF HARTFORD

This case concerns a dispute over workers' compensation liability following an industrial injury sustained by an employee who was a general employee of Contractors Labor Pool (insured by insolvent Reliance) and a special employee of GM Northrup Corp. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to reverse a prior finding, determining that National Fire Insurance Company's policy for GM Northrup Corp. constituted "other insurance." Consequently, National Fire Insurance Company is now liable for the applicant's benefits, and the California Insurance Guarantee Association is not liable as the claim is not a "covered claim."
