Summary

Applicant Dennis Dutra filed a cumulative trauma claim against J.B. Hunt Transport for the period September 2, 2014 to July 20, 2015, during which the employer was covered by AIG/New Hampshire (9/2/14-12/31/14) and Zurich (12/31/14-7/20/15). On February 16, 2016, applicant elected against Zurich, which accepted AOE/COE liability and agreed to pay TTD and authorized treatment with Dr. Immerman via a Stipulation and Award/Order, while reserving its right to seek contribution. After resolving the claim by C&R on January 29, 2021, Zurich filed a petition for contribution against AIG on April 28, 2021. AIG argued the petition was untimely because it should have been filed within one year of the February 16, 2016 stipulation. The Board affirmed the WCJ as amended, finding Zurich's contribution petition timely except as to the temporary disability indemnity and the medical treatment with Dr. Immerman awarded under the 2016 stipulation.
