Q: Will I be entitled to workers' compensation benefits if I am injured while walking from a parking lot to my job and my employer reimburses me for commuting expenses?

A: When claimants are not obligated to park at a specific parking garage since there was no written or verbal policy mandates where they park, even though they are reimbursed for commuting expenses, the injured worker is not entitled to workers' compensation benefits since the parking garage was not an integral part of the employers' premises.
