Home Attendant for Elderly Injured Walking from One Client’s Home to Another Was Covered by Workers’ Compensation

The Third Department affirmed the determination that a home attendant for the elderly, who was injured walking from one client’s home to another client’s home, was entitled to workers’ compensation:

While “injuries sustained during travel to and from the place of employment” are generally not compensable under the Workers’ Compensation Law, an outside employee “who does not have a fixed worksite[] may be compensated for injuries sustained in the course of” work-related travel … .  The employer and carrier contend that claimant was not an outside employee, but “[t]he distinguishing feature of outside employees is that they do not work at a fixed location and are required to travel between work locations” … .  The employer here assigned claimant to care for two clients in different locations and, thus, substantial evidence supports the Board’s determination that she “became an outside employee when [s]he left” one work site and proceeded to another… . Matter of Bedmark v Caring Professionals Inc…, 515870, 3rd Dept 11-7-13
