Business or Pleasure? Course and Scope of Employment While on a Business Trip

Originally published by Carrington Coleman.

Ron Pinkus was in Dallas on a business trip for his employer, but on his way to have dinner with his son, when he was involved in a car accident that claimed his life. The Division of Insurance, Department of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) concluded Pinkus was acting in the course and scope of employment at the time of the accident, but Hartford, the workers’ comp carrier, filed a petition for review in the trial court. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of Hartford, and Pinkus’s widow appealed.
