I know the definition of a "work-related injury" is pretty broad. I don't need to detail every possible case. This is just an overview that mostly covers how people will report claims to the company and the third-party claims administrator.
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

I'm in Texas, but this document will apply to multiple states.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
So not a lawyer, but the way it's always been explained to me is more or less: flea's boss was walking across the lobby of the building because she has to be here for her job, so even if it's not a tragic book-lifting incident, it's still related to her work. If she'd broken her wrist at a wild football tailgate on campus, well, she happened to be on looniversity property, but it wasn't part of her job.
Also, the thought of flea's boss tailgating is going to give me weeks of amusement. Enough so that it may be the only reason I bothered to post my total lack of knowledge.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's a good site. I would suggest changing the definition of "occur within" to:
"meaning that the employee was engaged in a work-related or incidental activity that he would normally be expected to do as part of his course of employment."

Police charged pop singer Boy George with false imprisonment on Tuesday after he allegedly chained a man to a wall at his London home.
He didn't want him to come and go?

Sounds like actual imprisonment to me. False imprisonment would be if you said the door was locked, but it actually wasn't and they could really leave anytime.

Dear Former Supervisor,
Hi. I understand that you've moved on to bigger and better things, and that I have to take over some duties for you now that you're no longer a basement dweller.
It would be nice, though, if you'd actually DOCUMENT THE PROCESS that I'm trying to take over, rather than feeding me information piecemeal and then telling me I'm doing it wrong WHEN YOU SHOWED ME ONCE -- FREAKING ONE TIME -- how to do this really incredibly complicated god damn report.
You're a nice guy. Stop making me fantasize about choking you to death while shrieking about TPS reports, mmkay?
grrrar,
shrift
