SAUL SALCEDA, JR. (Deceased); ELIZABETH R. SALCEDA, Guardian Ad Litem and Trustee for ELLEN KATE SALCEDA, a minor and NOYLAHNA PHUTSDAY SIBOURIBOUN, a minor vs. DIRECT MOTION, INC.; HANOVER INSURANCE GROUP WORCESTER

This case involves a petition for reconsideration of a denial of workers' compensation benefits for the death of Saul Salceda, Jr. The applicant argued the deceased's fatal injury arose from his employment, but the WCAB affirmed the WCJ's finding that it did not. The WCAB found that while there was a special mutuality between the deceased and his employer, his fatal activities did not benefit the employer directly or indirectly, thus the dual purpose rule was inapplicable. Therefore, the petition for reconsideration was denied.
