You suffered a permanent condition or illness from exposure to harmful chemicals or substances.
You suffered injuries at a job site or customer/client location while working.
You suffered injuries on a train or in a taxi while traveling for work.
You suffered injuries in a traffic accident while driving a company vehicle.
