Applicant Edgar Gama, a cannabis extraction worker, sustained severe burns and other injuries in an August 19, 2020 warehouse explosion in Jurupa. The WCJ found Gama was employed by Xtractor Depot, LLC on the date of injury based on the ostensible authority of Andrew Yoon, Xtractor's owner who directed and controlled the warehouse operation and supplied its equipment. Defendant The Hartford petitioned for reconsideration, arguing the WCJ erred by not taking judicial notice of the employer's website and in finding employment with Xtractor, despite having introduced no evidence and made no motion for judicial notice at trial. The WCAB adopted and incorporated the WCJ's report, gave great weight to the credibility determination, and denied reconsideration.
