CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the applicant's petition for reconsideration, rescinding the previous decision that barred her claim under the "going and coming rule." The Board found that the initial hearing and decision did not adequately develop evidence regarding other potential exceptions to the rule, particularly those related to the employer's requirement for the employee to furnish transportation. Therefore, the case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings to fully explore these exceptions and ensure due process for the applicant.
