Legal Answers
2 Questions Answered
- Q. Petition of Joinder
- A: Typically the insurance companies will "conduct discovery," meaning delays while each attempts to limit if not eliminate its own liabilities by both "defending" against you and the other insurance companies claiming it owes any benefit or contribution to the case. It usually results in delays, though not necessarily starting over. It "continues," but many of the "same issues" will be covered again. You can consider "electing" against one of the insurers in the cumulative trauma period. Read Labor Code section 5500.5 here:
