The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for reconsideration, upholding the administrative law judge's finding that the applicant sustained a cumulative industrial injury while employed as a professional football player. Crucially, the Board affirmed jurisdiction based on the applicant credibly testifying he accepted the employment contract via telephone from his California residence in 2005. The defendant's arguments regarding permanent disability, apportionment, and medical evidence were deemed premature as the permanent disability percentage has not yet been determined.
