CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Tony Blaine's petition for reconsideration of a prior decision. The Board adopted the Administrative Law Judge's report, which found Blaine was not an employee based on insufficient hours worked (14 hours) to meet the 52-hour threshold under Labor Code §3352(h). Furthermore, the ALJ found Blaine's testimony regarding his date of injury inconsistent with his prior statements to doctors and documentation filed with the Board, suggesting the injury may have occurred before his employment with the defendant.
