Summary

Truck driver Harminder Singh claimed a specific injury on December 11, 2021. The dispute concerned whether he was employed by Sunview Logistics (insured by Clear Spring) or Manpreet Singh dba Speed Intermodal (uninsured), both of which Manpreet Singh wholly owned. The WCJ found applicant was jointly employed by both entities and that both were jointly and severally liable. Speed Intermodal sought reconsideration, arguing no substantial evidence of joint employment existed and that Sunview was the only admitted employer. The Appeals Board denied reconsideration, concluding substantial documentary and testimonial evidence supported a joint venture and joint/dual employment, and that the only issue litigated was employment, not insurance fraud.
