Legal Question in Workers Comp in Texas
Worker on call
I am an RN and was placed on call when scheduled to work. Where I work pays us(a small amount) while we are on call-so we are technically on the clock. I was called in and injured enroute to work, is this considered a workman's comp issue?

Re: Worker on call
I think your injury should be covered under workers' comp. The general rule is that employees are not covered while they travel to and from work. However, I think your case is different and that you should recover Texas workers' compensation benefits. www.dallasworkcomp.com
