Arruda v. HCA Management Services, L.P. / Parallon / ESIS WC Claims / Broadspire

Derrick E. Cox

JCC Stanton (Gainesville)(10-24-18) – The JCC denied the claim based on the coming and going rule. The claimant worked at various hospitals as a nurse. The claimant argued she was a travelling employee at the time of the accident. The JCC accepted the employer’s testimony that the claimant was not required to accept non-local nursing assignments, which the claimant sometimes accepted. The claimant elected to take these non-local assignments and was not required to do so. Moreover, the employer provided no travel or lodging expenses. The employer simply paid the claimant for the hours worked at the hospital.
