Webinar: The Going and Coming Rule Bites Back – Zenith v. WCAB (Hernandez)
August 29 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
1 Participatory MCLE Credits
It is almost axiomatic in the practice of workers’ compensation law that the “going and coming” is a toothless defense wherein the exceptions have swallowed up the rule. However, the recent Court of Appeal published decision in Zenith v. WCAB (Hernandez) has shown the rule still has a few sharp teeth left, and can bite back. In this 1 hour webinar, practitioners will learn all about the “going and coming” rule, its many exceptions, the Zenith case, and will receive guidance on how to navigate discovery and litigation in these challenging cases.
