Jackson Lewis: Workers' Compensation Appropriate for On-call Health Care Worker Injured on Way Home: Tennessee Supreme Court | Practical Law
This Law Firm Publication by Jackson Lewis LLP discusses the Tennessee Supreme Court's ruling in Shannon v. Roane Med. Ctr., in which the court held that an on-call employee injured while driving home from her workplace qualified for an exception to the rule barring workers' compensation for employees injured while going to or from work. For on-call employees, courts will consider the totality of the circumstances to determine whether the employee falls under the exception and is covered by the Tennessee Workers' Compensation Act.
