Are my injuries covered if they happened while I was traveling for work?

Maybe. If you are classified as a full or part-time employee and you were performing work-related duties when the accident happened, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. If you were on a business trip and were conducting personal business when you were injured, your injuries will probably not be covered by workers’ compensation insurance. However, if you were hurt because of someone else’s negligence, you may be able to recover compensation by filing an injury claim or lawsuit against the responsible party.
