CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration and reversed the Administrative Law Judge's (ALJ) decision, finding jurisdiction over the applicant's claim. The WCAB determined that the applicant, a professional football player, was hired in California because his agent, located in California, accepted the employment offer on his behalf. This acceptance, despite the contract being signed in Texas, established jurisdiction under Labor Code sections 3600.5(a) and 5305. The dissent argued that the record did not sufficiently establish the agent's location in California at the time of acceptance, thus precluding WCAB jurisdiction.
