雇佣要求第 1020 / 1605 题
A worker is injured while intentionally starting a fistfight with a coworker over a personal grudge unrelated to the job. Is this injury likely compensable?
a.Yes, because workers' compensation is no-fault
b.Yes, because all injuries at the workplace are covered
c.Likely not, because injuries where the worker was the initial physical aggressor may be excluded
d.Yes, because the employer is always liable
解析
Although workers' compensation is no-fault, Labor Code §3600 contains exclusions. An injury caused by the employee's initiation of a physical altercation, or resulting from intoxication or self-infliction, may fall outside coverage. No-fault does not mean every injury, regardless of cause, is automatically compensable.
