Legal Question in Workers Comp in California
In California,the store I work at is on the 2nd floor.While on my way to my 10 minute "rest" break,I fell down the stairs leading out of the building and hurt my shoulder and I think it needs medical attention.Will that be covered by WC?

Yes, your presence at the workplace during breaks is a 'benefit' to the employer (even during break times) so your injury is ... AOE COE..
...meaning Arising Out of Employement and in the Course (scope) of Employment.
file your DWC1 Employee Claim form soon, or they will be upset that you waited.
