Rodolfo Cardenas vs. Plastic Services & Products American Home Assurance Company
In this case, Rodolfo Cardenas, the applicant, was injured while employed from 1979 to March 7, 2008 and settled his claim with co-defendants American Home Assurance Company and U.S. Fire Insurance Company for the amount of $315,000.00. American Home Assurance Company then sought reimbursement for an alleged overpayment of $21,373.27, but the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board denied the petition for reconsideration, finding that American did not clearly establish an overpayment and that equity favored a denial of the request for reimbursement.
