CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of an amended findings and award. The applicant sustained an industrial injury to his right leg while employed by the defendants. The defendants contended the applicant was not their employee and did not meet the 52-hour threshold for residential employees. The Board found the WCJ's determination that the applicant exceeded 52 hours of work was supported by substantial evidence, despite conflicting witness testimony. Additionally, the defendants failed to prove the applicant was employed by a third party rather than them.
