"Chang's negligence lawsuit named Doremus and her employer as defendants, but Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Gary Micon granted summary judgment to SCPMG, arguing the 'going and coming' rule protects employers from liability when their workers are merely commuting."
A California appeals court ruled an employer can't be held liable for an employee's crash unless the injured party can prove the employee was working at the time, not just commuting. The case involved a cyclist injured by a driver who was on her way to work, but the court ruled the going and coming rule protects the employer from liability.
