BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

The following story has been corrected to reflect the correct workers compensation policyholder.

The workers compensation insurer for a contractor with Inland Regional Center has filed a tort claim against San Bernardino County, California, related to the killing of a man during the Dec. 2 mass shooting by a married couple.

Seeking damages of $53,439, California's State Compensation Insurance Fund on May 20 filed a tort claim “to reserve our right to explore the county's liability” in a workers comp claim filed after the death of an employee of Pathway Inc., a contractor that ran a coffee shop at the center, a spokeswoman for California's insurer of last resort said Thursday.

She noted that $53,439 is an estimate of the total cost of the workers comp claim at the time.

Fourteen people were killed and 22 were injured in the Dec. 2 terrorist attack at Inland Regional Center, where a married couple targeted a San Bernardino County Department of Public Health holiday party.
