Description
1. For purposes of determining whether a co-employee "is acting in furtherance of the employers business" under W.Va. Code, 23-2-6a [1949], and thereby entitled to immunity from tort liability, a "dual purpose" trip, that is, a journey by an employee that serves both personal and business reasons, is a personal trip if it would have been made even though the business aspect of the journey was cancelled. However, it is a business trip if the journey would have gone forward even though the personal errand was cancelled. In any event, if the injury or death of an employee prevents the trip from going forward, the journey may still be a business trip if the business task would have been done by some other employee at some other time.
