I met an accident where I was hit by a motorcyclist coming at very high speed while (I) taking a turn to enter the factory gate. It happened at a distance of 15-20 meters from the gate. I was picked up and sent to plant dispensary by the plant security and other personnel. I was diagnosed with a fracture in my ankle and recommended a minimum bed rest of 1 month.
Now the factory HR and safety department says as the accident happened outside the plant gate, I am not eligible for compensation of days lost during the treatment. Though through ESI my medical bills may be compensated.
My query is whether I can claim for the loss of pay for the duration I am on the bed for treatment and if claimable, then what is the percentage I can claim. Can I claim my full day pay for the days, I am on bed for healing the fracture?

Dear Jahanzeb,
The Workmen’s Compensation Act clearly states to provide workmen and/or their dependents some relief in case of accidents arising out of and in the course of employment and causing either death or disablement of workmen.
The three tests for determining whether an accident arose out of employment are:
1. At the time of injury workman must have been engaged in the business of the employer and must not be doing something for his personal benefit;
2. That accident occurred at the place where he as performing his duties; and
3. Injury must have resulted from some risk incidental to the duties of the service, or inherent in the nature condition of employment.
What i want to say with the above statements is that, your accident has ARISEN OUT OF EMPLOYMENT
therefore, you should get the benefit under "Workmen compensation act - 1923" (If it was not a purposeful accident). Your accident, as per your saying seems to lie under "temporary partial disablement". Although, i am not sure what % you can claim.
I would suggest you get appropriate suggestions from a senior person who deals with labor laws. Hope you recover soon!

Dear Jahanzeb
Here you have to consider two things.
1. ESI - Your factory is being covered by the ESIC and the treatment part will be taken care of by the ESI. (For insurance part I request our learned members to reply)
2. Workmen's Compensation Act - It is not applicable in your case as you are being covered by the ESI.
1. For insurance part your factory is liable to do because you got injury while on the way to work (as said by you). So you can discuss with your HR department and get clarified.
2.. The Motorcyclist will be having the Insurance cover for his Motor Cycle and if you file a Case in MACT, then you can get the compensation for this temporary partial disability. Hope you might have filed the FIR in the nearer Police Station about the accident, so that the Motor cyclist can be sued and you will get the Insurance compensation.

Mr. Bhaskar is right. I am sorry, i did not read about the ESI mentioned. Therefore, Workmen Compensation Act is not applicable in the case. Sorry again.

Dear Siddz28
Normally either one only applicable. Today you learnt it. That's all. No need to feel sorry. Our life itself is a class room and we are learning daily. Even I do not know about the ESI compensation part.
Shall we expect our learned members guide us about the compensation being paid by the ESIC.
