What if I am injured in a motor vehicle accident while I’m on the job? What can I do?

Traveling employees are covered under the Florida Workers Compensation Act in most situations. An employee who is required to travel in connection with his/her employment who suffers an injury while in travel status is eligible for benefits under the Florida Workers Compensation Act if the injury arises out of course of employment while the employee was actively engaged in the duties of employment.  The Florida Workers Compensation Act applies to travel necessarily incident to performance of the employee’s job responsibilities but does not include travel to and from work unless there are specific circumstances, like being paid to travel or while en-route to and from a job site or while traveling in an employer-owned vehicle.
