WILSON V. WORKERS' COMPENSATION APPEALS BOARD
16 Cal. 3d 181, 545 P.2d 225, 127 Cal. Rptr. 313 (1976)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Wilson (P) sought review of the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board
decision vacating P's compensation award, holding that P's injury did not arise out of the
course of P's employment.
FACTS: Wilson (P), a grade school teacher, was injured in an automobile accident after
driving her children to school and driving to her own school. In her car was a small bag
containing school supplies, including her teaching manual. The school district did not
require a teacher to use personal transportation; public transportation was available. Class
preparation was often done at home for convenience, although there was time to do it at
school. P went to the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (D), attempting to be compensated
for her injures. D denied her benefits, making the following principal findings: (1) P's
home was not a second job site because her activities outside school hours were matters of
personal choice, (2) only convenience motivated P's automobile trip, and (3) the
'transportation of the work-related items was not a major part of the trip, nor even a
significant alternative reason for the trip.' P seeks review of this order.
