CompFox AI Summary
Here's a summary for a lawyer:
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed the finding of industrial injury for an applicant who was injured in a car accident while commuting home after picking up a company part. This trip was deemed a "special mission" for the employer, thus overcoming the going-and-coming rule defense. However, the issue of reimbursement for family-provided home health care was deferred for further development of the record, as the applicant did not initially meet the prescription requirements.
