Justin Wickizer, Director of Legal Operations, discusses Smith Freed Eberhard’s latest Legal Alert, "Premises Liability: The Impact of the “Going or Coming” Rule on Tort Liability".

Regardless, the court found the injury compensable because the employer had the ability to request maintenance or repairs of the parking lot.
