Roberts v. Parker-Banks Chevrolet

RICHARD B. TEITELMAN, Judge.

Parker-Banks Chevrolet (“Employer”) appeals from a decision of the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission awarding worker’s compensation benefits to Kevin Roberts (“Claimant”) for an injury he sustained while going to work, when he tripped and fell in a public parking lot near his place of employment. Employer argues on appeal that the Commission erred as a matter of law, and misapplied the extended premises doctrine, when it held that Claimant’s injury arose out of and in the course of employment. We affirm.
