California court tosses Travelers’ arbitration order in Yankees workers’ comp case

A California appellate court has put the brakes on Travelers Indemnity Company’s attempt to shift a workers’ compensation coverage dispute into arbitration, sending the matter back for further review. The May 28, 2025, decision comes from the Fourth Appellate District and centers on a cumulative injury claim filed by George Zeber, a former New York Yankees player who says he was injured during his employment from 1968 to 1978.
