Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

Injury while working at home

I was recently injured while working from home. I asked my employer whether I should see my own doctor or the provider designated by my employer for work-related injuries. I was told to see their provider. I have since learned that the law is ambiguous on this point. Are injuries sustained while employees are working from home covered by workers' compensation or not? Thank you.

Re: Injury while working at home

They are covered. The employer may try to argue that it did not happen while you were at work, but you should prevail on that issue.
