The coming and going rule is an important part of workers’ compensation law. It generally says that if you are injured outside your direct workplace — such as running a special errand for your employer, or even in the employer’s parking lot — you may still be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits.
This rule matters because many employees mistakenly think they are not covered unless the injury occurs at their desk, workstation, or while directly performing their job duties. In reality, workers’ comp can extend to situations where you are performing tasks for the benefit of your employer or on their property.
Workers’ compensation benefits can cover:
Time missed from work (lost wages)
Medical bills related to the injury
Continued income while you recover
These protections can be the difference between paying out-of-pocket or having the insurance company cover your costs. If you’ve been injured going to or from work, or while performing a task outside your typical job duties, it’s important to consult with an attorney to determine whether you qualify for benefits.
