CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a prior ruling and amended a finding of fact. The Board affirmed that California lacked personal jurisdiction over the Baltimore Ravens (formerly Cleveland Browns) for applicant's claimed injuries. The decision found no evidence of a contract formed in California and that the applicant's activities with the Browns, including games played in California, occurred after his release and were not connected to his claimed injury. The Board also declined to disturb the WCJ's reliance on pre-2005 medical-legal procedures.
