Answer to Question 1

Workers' compensation is defined as benefits awarded to an employee when injuries are work related. To be eligible for workers' compensation, an employee's injury must be work related. Sometimes factual circumstances make it difficult to determine whether the worker's injury or illness is really work related and therefore covered by workers' compensation or falls outside the exclusive jurisdiction of the act. Some examples include:
injuries intentionally inflicted upon one employee by another;
injuries occurring when the employee is on the road, especially if the trip began from the employee's home;
chronic illnesses such as lung disease, especially if contributing factors include workplace hazards (e.g., dust) in combination with personal behavior (e.g., smoking).
