CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns the defendant's claim of exemption from California workers' compensation law under Labor Code section 3600.5(b). The Appeals Board found that the applicant, a professional football player hired outside California, was only temporarily working in the state. Based on precedent established in Carroll v. Cincinnati Bengals, the Board determined that all conditions for exemption were met, as the employer provided coverage under Ohio law, and Ohio law reciprocally exempts California employers. Consequently, the initial award of permanent disability and future medical treatment was rescinded, and the defendant was dismissed from the case.
