Injuries sustained by an Ohio office worker when she fell in a parking lot adjacent to the building housing her office were compensable, since they arose out of and in the course of her employment, held an appellant court recently. The worker had clocked out for lunch and had exited the building when she fell over some uneven pavement. The employer contended the claim was barred by the going and coming rule, but the appellate court indicated that the injuries occurred within the so-called “zone of employment”—specifically, the means of ingress and egress to the employer’s premises, if they are under the control of the employer.
