District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

November 19, 1997.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert W. Schoenfelder, St. Petersburg; Bill McCabe, Longwood, for Appellant.

Tirso M. Carreja, Jr., and Warren K. Sponsler of Rissman, Weisberg, Barrett, Hurt, Donahue & McLain, P.A., Tampa, for Appellees.


ERVIN, Judge.

This is an appeal from a workers' compensation order concluding that the injury appellant, Robert W. Schoenfelder, sustained was not compensable under the going and coming rule,1 which bars recovery for injuries that occur when a claimant is en route to or from work. We conclude that under the facts of this case, Schoenfelder's injury occurred in the course of his employment, and therefore reverse.
