Arizona Court Says No Coverage for Worker Hurt in Wreck after Business Errand
An Arizona court ruling says an employee hurt in an auto accident isn’t entitled to workers’ compensation for her injuries though she had just made a business errand to finish her work day.
The employee deviated from her normal commute home to swing by another location of her employer to drop off a manual. She then got into an accident a few minutes later.
She applied for workers’ compensation coverage for her injuries which she said were incurred on the job.
The ruling said the trip began as a business errand but had become personal in nature by the time the accident occurred.
