TARA GELLMAN vs. GOLDMAN, MAGDALIN, & KRIKES, LLP, FEDERAL INSURANCE COMPANY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration of a prior decision. The applicant, an attorney, sought compensation for an injury sustained during her commute, arguing it fell under the "special mission" exception to the "going and coming" rule. The Board found that the applicant failed to prove her activities were extraordinary or undertaken for the employer's benefit, as she routinely worked from home and carried files. Therefore, the injury was deemed to have occurred during a non-compensable commute.
