SANDIE TAYLOR vs. COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE

Here's a summary of the case for a lawyer in a maximum of four sentences: The applicant, Sandie Taylor, injured herself while participating in mandatory training for the County of Riverside's Mounted Posse. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, reversing the trial judge's finding that she was not an employee. The Board determined that Taylor was performing services for the County, subject to their control and benefiting them, and thus considered her an employee under Labor Code section 3366 at the time of her injury. The case is returned for further proceedings on other issues.
