California Court of Appeal
Fireman's Fund Ins. Co. v. Workers' Comp. Appeals Bd., B215486
In an injured employee's claim for workers' compensation benefits for sustaining injuries while working as a film production supervisor, Workers' Compensation Appeals Board's denial of defendant employer and its insurer's request to be dismissed is affirmed where: 1) the two employers are jointly and severally liable employers to employees like the injured individual for workers' compensation, and the liability of Rocket Science and its insurer is not extinguished by compliance with section 3602(d); and 2) coverage under the defendant-insurer policy is clear and unlimited without the statutory exclusion for employees like the individual in this case, and the policy provisions control.
