CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a prior decision that denied applicant's claim for injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. The Board found that the applicant's injuries were not barred by the going and coming rule because he was on a "special mission" for his employer. This special mission involved attending a mandatory week-long training that required a shift change and involved duties and locations different from his regular job. Therefore, the Board rescinded the original findings and determined the applicant's injuries arose out of and in the course of his employment.
