JENKINTOWN PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS

If you are traveling to or from work and you are injured, the general answer is no, you are not eligible for workers’ compensation in Pennsylvania. When you are going to or from work, you are not on company time, so the company is not liable for your injuries.

However, with the right attorney helping with your case, you may be able to find some exceptions to this rule, including:

1. If you have been issued a company vehicle, and you used the vehicle to drive to or from work when the accident or injury occurred.
2. If you are paid by your employer for your travel time to and from work.
3. If you were performing tasks that are associated with your job while driving to or from work.
4. If your route to and from work is constructed or maintained by your employer, dangerous, or if your route is the only way in or out of your place of employment.
5. If where you got hurt is close enough to your place of employment that is falls within the scope of employment.
6. If your injury happened while you were on a special errand that was work related.
