CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) affirmed the decision to deny applicant's claim for cumulative trauma injury, finding insufficient connection to California. While applicant claimed to be hired in California by Hiroshima Toyo Carp, that employer is not a party, precluding jurisdiction under Labor Code Section 5305. The WCAB determined that applicant's participation in 12 games in California out of 440 total games over 11 seasons was de minimis and insufficient to overcome defendants' due process objection. Therefore, the minimal contact with California did not justify requiring defendants to litigate the claim in this state.
