Arrowood Indemnity Company v. Workers' Compensation trust fund

Summary

The court held that an insurer in run-off is not barred from receiving second-injury reimbursements when it paid the workers’ compensation benefits under the relevant policy. The statutory exclusions identify specific nonparticipating employers but do not include insurers in run-off, and the statutory funding scheme places assessment obligations on employers rather than insurers. The court therefore reversed the reviewing board’s denial and remanded for further proceedings.
