What is arising out of employment?
“Arising out of” and “in the course of” employment are two different concepts. 𠇊rising out of” refers to some connection between the employment and the injury while “in the course of” refers to the injury occurring while in the course of one’s employment. A typist suffering carpal tunnel from typing has an injury that arose out of the employment. The typist who suffered a heart attack or stroke while performing her usual duties did not have an accidental injury “arising out of” her employment, even though it may have occurred during the course of her employment. 𠇊rising out of” requires there be a connection between the employment and the injury or condition suffered.
