● You were hurt while running an errand at your employer’s request
● You were injured while performing job-mandated duties along the way to or from work
● You were injured on a route that is inherently dangerous and directly maintained by your employer, or it is the only way to access your work location
● Your transportation method was directly provided by your employer, or you were compensated for the travel time
It's important to know that workers’ compensation isn’t usually available when simply driving to or from your daily shift or to a mandatory staff meeting. However, the coming and going rule doesn’t apply when performing an unusual service that falls outside your normal duties such as coming home after traveling outside your usual route for a work emergency.
