Rosemond was a teacher at Yampa Valley High School who loved to play chess. He volunteered to sponsor the Chess Club, an extracurricular activity. While driving his own car to a chess meet in another city with several students, he was involved in a serious car accident and suffered severe and permanent disabling injuries. He applied for Worker’s Compensation. The school district objected to his application claiming that his injuries were not work-related. What result and why?

Solution

He indeed applied for workers compensation but since he was on his way to an extra curricular activities, this is indeed not a part of work and therefore, the compensation will be rejected. Since the compensation is actually denied on the whole, he has to bear all the medical expenses by himself.
