Lord v. Daugherty

In Lord v. Daugherty (1981), 66 Ohio St.2d 441, 423 N.E.2d 96, the Supreme Court of Ohio held that "whether there is a sufficient 'causal connection' between an employee's injury and his employment to justify the right to participate in the Workers' Compensation Fund depends on the totality of the facts and circumstances surrounding the accident, including: (1) the proximity of the scene of the accident to the place of employment; (2) the degree of control the employer had over the scene of the accident; (3) the benefit the employer received from the injured employee's presence at the scene of the accident."
