CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the employer's petition for reconsideration regarding a psyche injury claim. The Board found the applicant's slip and fall on a broken stair was not a "sudden and extraordinary employment condition" as required by Labor Code section 3208.3(d) for claims filed within six months of employment. Therefore, the applicant's psyche injury claim does not meet this exception. The case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings.
