Gaylon Hyder vs. St. Louis Rams, The Travelers Indemnity Co.
This case concerns a professional athlete's claim for workers' compensation benefits. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) rescinded a prior award, finding it lacked jurisdiction. The applicant did not sufficiently demonstrate that his cumulative industrial injury occurred in California or that he was regularly employed in the state. Therefore, the WCAB determined it could not adjudicate the claim.
