Default Rough Sex Injury On Business Trip - Workers Comp?

http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/World/20.../18487121.html


The woman, a public servant who cannot be named, was hit in the face by a glass light fitting while she was having sex in her hotel room the night before a meeting in November 2007, the Australian Associated Press reported.

The Australian government's workplace safety board, ComCare, rejected her claim.

But in an appeal to a federal court, the woman's lawyer, Leo Grey, said sex is "an ordinary incident of life." If the woman had been injured while showering or sleeping, she would receive compensation, he argued.

In a statement, the man who was also involved said the two were "going hard" and he wasn't sure if they bumped the light or if it fell off the wall on its own.
