Section 3755 Of Article 3. Insurance Rights And Privileges From California Labor Code >> Division 4. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 4. >> Article 3.
3755
. If the employer is insured against liability for
compensation, and if after the suffering of any injury the insurer
causes to be served upon any compensation claimant a notice that it
has assumed and agreed to pay any compensation to the claimant for
which the employer is liable, such employer shall be relieved from
liability for compensation to such claimant upon the filing of a copy
of such notice with the appeals board. The insurer shall, without
further notice, be substituted in place of the employer in any
proceeding theretofore or thereafter instituted by such claimant to
recover such compensation, and the employer shall be dismissed
therefrom.
Such proceedings shall not abate on account of such substitution
but shall be continued against such insurer.
