Types of Injuries Covered by Companies

There are some types of injuries that companies cover and others that they don’t. The types of injuries that companies cover are those which can be connected in some way to an employment requirement or condition. For example, lung cancer resulting from second-hand smoke at a restaurant that permits smoking, or a sprained ankle after falling from a telephone pole.

Also, workplace injuries count if they occurred outside the company but in a work-related space where the employee was doing something connected to their job. This includes company parties and other social events sponsored by the employer. For example, a company-sponsored party at a bar would be considered a work-related activity, so if anything happens you could be covered. But if you and your boss decide to go to another place for drinks, it couldn’t be considered “work-related.”

If an injury occurs during lunch break within the company cafeteria or other space connected to the course of employment (for example, lunch with a client at a restaurant), it is considered work-related. Also, an injury that involves alcohol may be considered work-related if the alcohol was provided at a work-sponsored event.

On the other hand, certain types of workers may not be covered by their employers, depending on the state. Some of them are domestic workers, seasonal workers, undocumented workers, and agricultural workers.
