Hogarth & Associates and Larry D. Hogarth; Benedon & Serlin, Douglas G. Benedon and Gerald M. Serlin for Petitioners General Casualty Insurance and Regent Insurance. RemedyTemp, Jacuzzi, Assurance and Casualty petitioned the WCAB for reconsideration. The WCAB explained that general and special employers are jointly and severally liable to special employees for workers' compensation under Kowalski and McFarland. Code section 11663, Casualty argues that CIGA is an insurer for insolvency, and the statute applies broadly between insurers including CIGA. General Casualty Insurance (Casualty), a workers' compensation insurer of a special employer with an industrially injured special employee provided by RemedyTemp, joined the proceedings.
