CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) rescinded a prior award, finding that California's workers' compensation jurisdiction was exempted for the applicant's temporary work in California for the Baltimore Ravens. The WCAB determined that under former Labor Code section 3600.5(b), the Ravens met the requirements for exemption by providing Maryland workers' compensation coverage, which included extraterritorial provisions for employee work in other states. The Board also found that Maryland law reciprocally recognized California's extraterritorial provisions and exempted California employers. Consequently, the applicant's claim against the Baltimore Ravens was dismissed.
