This case involves a Petition for Reconsideration by the applicant's dependents following the denial of their workers' compensation claim. The applicant, Isabel Akerlundh, a Behavioral Health Specialist, died in a car accident while commuting to work. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration, upholding the Administrative Law Judge's finding that the injury was barred by the "going and coming rule." The Board found no evidence that the applicant was performing services for her employer or that an exception to the rule applied to her commute, as county vehicles were available and use of a personal vehicle was not required.
