CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of a finding that an applicant sustained an injury arising out of and in the course of employment. The applicant was injured in a car accident while en route to pick up her supervisor to travel to a client meeting. The Board found that the "going and coming" rule did not bar recovery as the applicant was engaged in a "special mission" for her employer. This mission involved an extraordinary deviation from her routine commute, specifically at the employer's benefit and request.
