Exception to the Going and Coming Rule: Special Hazard or Risk

Authors

Karen M. Holmes

Abstract

In Littlefield v. Pillsbury Co., the Ohio Supreme Court specifically adopted the "special hazard or risk" exception to the "going and coming" rule. This exception extends workers' compensation coverage to claims for injuries sustained in accidents occurring outside an employer's premises, before or after work, if the injury occurs because of a hazard created by the employment.
