Question 3

Northwest Energy Company is subject to mandatory workers' compensation laws in the states in which it does business. Odell and Phelps work for Northwest Energy as part of a crew that travels to remote locations to repair broken pumps and other damaged equipment. At a distant site, Odell is injured in an accident that is entirely Phelps's fault. Odell files a claim for workers' compensation. Should the claim be granted? What would be Northwest Energy's best defense against it?

Accepted Answer

Odell's claim should probably be granted. Northwest Energy's best defense in this situation, as in all workers' compensation cases, is that Odell's injury did not arise out of and in the course of employment. That defense would not likely be successful here, however. 
Under workers' compensation laws, employers are strictly liable without regard to whether or not they are at fault. Even if the employer is not negligent, he or she is liable if an employee's injury arose out of and in the course of employment. "Liability" in this context means that an injured employee is entitled to workers' compensation benefits for his or her injury. An injury must be work-related, arising out of activity that is normal for the kind of job involved. "In the course of employment" means that the employee was either at work or performing work at a different location. That a co-worker caused an injury to an employee does not block the employee's recovery of workers' compensation benefits. Also, although an employee is not covered while driving to work from home, the employee is covered while performing a work-related service at an off-site location.
