In La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, Inc. v. Industrial Indemnity Co. (1994) 9 Cal.4th 27, the employee filed a civil action for damages, and the employer tendered its defense under Part 1, which, as noted, covered only workers' compensation benefits. (La Jolla, supra, 9 Cal.4th at pp. 43-46.) The court explained that, even if the employee's civil causes of action had merit, the superior court could not award benefits because they are within the exclusive jurisdiction of the WCAB. (Lab. Code, 5300.) Thus, since Part 1 covered only worker's compensation benefits, and since the superior court as a matter of law could not award such benefits, the employee's suit could not have obtained relief covered under Part 1. (La Jolla, supra, 9 Cal.4th at p. 43.)
