The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, overturning a prior decision that barred the applicant's claim under the going and coming rule. The Board found the applicant sustained an industrial injury on March 19, 2014, while employed as an administrative assistant. The injury occurred as she slipped and fell in a parking structure while on an unpaid lunch break, on the shortest route from her office to a snack bar. The Board determined this incident fell within the "reasonable margin of time and space" for ingress and egress from the employer's premises.
