Does workers’ compensation extend to an injury sustained offsite?

There is no set rule of thumb to determine whether your offsite injury would be covered by workers’ compensation. Although you may be at a work function, if the circumstances immediately surrounding your injury are not directly associated with the performance of work duties, then it is unlikely that you would receive workers’ compensation coverage. Because these issues are not always clear cut, you may wish to consider speaking with an attorney who will be able to respond specifically to your situation.

If you have suffered harm while performing job-related duties offsite, share your story with the Pennsylvania workers’ compensation attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., at 215-329-3511.
