Vetter v. Fun Footwear Co.

ROWLEY, President Judge.

In this appeal, we consider whether an employee, who is injured in an automobile accident after leaving an employer-sponsored Christmas party, can maintain a personal injury action against her employer, or whether her exclusive remedy is under the Workers’ Compensation Act, 77 P.S. § 1 et seq. After reviewing the record, the parties’ briefs, and the applicable case law, we vacate the judgment on the pleadings granted in favor of appellee Fun Footwear Company, also d/b/a Fun Shu, Ltd., and we remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
