What if I Get Hurt on a Work Trip?

This includes being hurt in Illinois or outside the State.

The test is whether you were involved a reasonably foreseeable activity.

Some examples:

In an accident while driving to the destination;

Falling in a restaurant;

Getting hit by a car while walking across a street;

Being mugged;

or drowning in a hotel pool.

What about engaging in some recreational activity like motorcycle riding, or horseback riding?

I think that there is an argument to be made that it is reasonable to expect that someone may be involved in some type of outside activity while on a work trip.

However, the farther you get away from work activity and the daily routine the more problems you may have proving your case.
