This case concerns a professional football player's cumulative trauma injury claim against the Minnesota Vikings, seeking compensation in California. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed the finding of jurisdiction, primarily because the applicant signed his employment contract with the Vikings in California. The Board found the applicant's prior settlement in Minnesota did not bar this claim, as it involved different injuries and did not account for the California contract. The WCAB upheld the administrative law judge's award for 73% permanent disability and future medical treatment.
