CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of a decision that found an applicant's injury compensable. The Board adopted the WCJ's reasoning that the applicant's injury occurred during a special mission for the employer, specifically while fueling a company vehicle to prepare for subsequent duties. Furthermore, the applicant was compensated for travel time and used an employer-provided vehicle, both of which create exceptions to the going and coming rule. Finally, the Board determined that the statute of limitations was tolled because the employer failed to provide the applicant with notice of her workers' compensation rights.
