Jane Hays was involved in a car accident resulting in losing one of her legs after leaving from a work meeting. The Texas Division of workers Compensation demanded to starts giving Hays her workers compensation for the costs of her medical expenses, but the insurer, Texas Political Subdivision, denied those claims because they felt she shouldn't have be considered on the job while driving after the meeting.
Hays lawyer, Brad Mcleelan felt like that was the most ridiculous reason to deny her compensation. Mcleelan pointed out the fact that the order to insure Hays was clear and reasonable enough if The Texas Division of workers Compensation already stated to go ahead and compensate her. He believes Hays was till on the clock after leaving the meeting.
On the other hand, Texas Political Subdivisions said that Hays was not on the clock after leaving the meeting. They said in the TPS system, Hays was not shown on the clock and was already reimbursed for mileage after leaving the meeting. They stated that Hays was on the clock during the meeting, but after she left she was no longer working.
Hays plan to sue TPS for having bad faith and for failing to follow through with their obligations. I'm siding with Hays because for them to pay for everything including mileage, but don't compensate for any medical care for accidents that happen on the way there and back is sad. Whether Hays was on the clock or not I feel like that's besides the fact, and should be covered for any medical care due to accidents that happened there and on the way back.
