Attorneys Karen Vincent and Joe Jones discuss the issues surrounding off-premises accidents. They address injuries arising during commutes to work, paid travel time, and business travel. The two litigators have a dialog about various fact scenarios as examples of when an off-premises injury will be and will not be considered compensable by the courts. At the end of the presentation attendees have a basic understanding of the “Going and Coming” defense under the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act and case law.
