Course of Employment
The next question asked is just what constitutes "arising out of employment?" For the injury to be compensable, it must spring from the employment. This means that what occurred was a natural and probable consequence of the employment, and the damage happened from the natural result of danger inherent with that kind of work. One thing to note is that if the injury is something that comes from a danger common to the general public, then it is not arising out of employment. To compensate the employee for such an injury would be to act as a general health insurance plan, which is not the purpose of the Act. When there is a reasonable relationship between the injury and the employment, the Industrial Commission would be justified in affirming that the injury did come out of employment. The injury also doesn't have to be the only cause of the injury.
