What happens if you get injured on your way to work? Will you receive workers’ compensation benefits for these injuries? WORKERS’ COMPENSATION CORNER In most cases, if you are injured on your way to work before you clock in, your injury will not be covered under workers’ compensation laws. For example, if you are involved in a motor vehicle accident during your morning commute to your workplace, you will likely not be covered under workers’ compensation, unless an exception applies. There are several exceptions to this rule. If you are on your employer’s property at the time of the accident and suffer an injury, even before you are technically on the clock, your injury might be covered. This sometimes happens when an employee is walking through an employee parking lot on the employer’s property and trips and falls before clocking in. This is probably covered under workers’ compensation laws.

Also, if you are an “on call” employee or use a work vehicle and drive it home every day, you might also be covered if you’re involved in a motor vehicle accident to, or from, work.
Directions
In general, if the workers’ compensation insurer denies your claim, you should always consult with an attorney. Many exceptions to this rule might apply, and you may be able to receive workers’ compensation benefits.
