How To Get To Carnagie Hall

The Maryland Court of Appeals has held that an injured former Washington Redskins football player is a “covered employee” entitled to workers compensation because he was regularly employed in Maryland.

The Redskins practice in Virginia but play their home games in Landover, Maryland. The court held that this fact establishes the employee’s regular employment in the State:

…practice time is incidental to playing football games.

In a separate matter, the court yesterday held that a Redskins player (a punter) who was injured while warming up for a game suffered a compensable injury under workers compensation law.
