The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Travelers Indemnity Company's petition for reconsideration, affirming its subject matter jurisdiction over applicant Gerald Paddio's cumulative injury claim. The Board found that Paddio's hiring as a professional basketball player in California, through his agent accepting an offer in San Francisco, established jurisdiction under Labor Code sections 3600.5(a) and 5305. The Board also noted that the issue of potential exemption from California law, raised by the defendant, was not ripe for appeal and must be addressed at the trial level. All other issues remain deferred for determination by a Workers' Compensation Judge.
