Subrogation is a legal principle that allows an employer or its workers’ compensation insurer to recover costs from a third party responsible for an employee’s injury. In California, this process is governed by Labor Code Section 3850, which grants employers and insurers the right to seek reimbursement for benefits paid to an injured worker. How Subrogation Works When an employee is injured due to a third party’s negligence, they may file a personal injury lawsuit against that party while also receiving workers’ compensation benefits. However, if the worker successfully recovers damages from the third party, the employer or insurer can assert a lien on the settlement or judgment to reclaim the benefits already paid. This prevents the worker from receiving double compensation for the same injury.

Genie was founded in 1966 when Bud Bushnell bought the manufacturing rights to a material lift that operated on compressed air. Customers seemed to be impressed with the “magic in the bottle” that was used to raise and lower the hoist — and the “Genie” name was born. With growing demand for material lifts and mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs), products such as man-lifts, stick booms, articulated booms, scissor lifts and telehandlers have been added to the Genie® product line. Today, Genie equipment is used in a variety of industries and applications worldwide, including rental, aviation, construction, entertainment, government and military, industrial, as well as warehouse and retail. The acquisition by Terex in 2002 brought telescoping forklifts (telehandlers) to the Genie® product line. Genie modified and improved these lifts with customer feedback, as they do with all of their products. Genie continues to represent quality and safe, dependable products; the success of Genie is based on the success of their customers.

In 1982, three friends and NASA co-workers left NASA to open their own rental store in Grand Prairie, Texas. With rental software of the time lacking what they needed, they used their engineering expertise to build their own. By the end of 2018, the company had grown from one product to five and from 20 employees to 200+. A decade later, a young Wayne Harris, who had grown up in the Point of Rental family by way of his parents’ rental store, put his MIT knowledge to good use and became the company’s head developer. Point of Rental would not be where they are today without the people who use their software and give feedback and suggestions. Point of Rental believes in making the world a better place, and their efficient, intuitive software allows you to work faster and spend more time with your family, improving your community, and more. Through an employee-led initiative, Point the Way, and even independently, Point of Rental staff spend time bettering their communities.

California plans to erase parts of a rule created to clean up the state’s dirty air from truck pollution. The action comes in response to a lawsuit from the California Trucking Association and strong headwinds from the Trump administration. The Advanced Clean Fleet rule, adopted in 2023, would have phased out diesel trucks used by large companies, state and local governments, as well as ports and railroad yards. It would have eliminated new gas-fueled truck sales by 2036 and mandated that large trucking fleets go electric or hydrogen-powered by 2042.
In response to the trade group’s lawsuit, the California Air Resources Board plans to propose repealing parts of the rule that applies to trucks serving ports, rail yards, and large companies this year. California’s requirements that state and local governments increasingly move towards all-electric vehicles — and that all new truck sales be electric by 2036 — will remain, so long as the federal government approves that policy.
