鈥淎rising out of employment鈥� means that the claimant must have been performing an obligation or condition of his/her employment that exposed him/her to the danger causing the injury. If one falls as a result of a previous medical condition which is not related to a danger of the job, it probably will not be considered to have arisen out of the employment.

鈥淚n the course of employment鈥� deals with the time and place that the injury occurred. If an injury occurs on the employer鈥檚 premises, such as in the parking lot or in the lobby of a building within a reasonable time before or after working hours, then workers鈥� compensation is likely to be accepted.

A specific injury or illness occurs as the result of or is caused by a specific event or one-time exposure. The time, place and circumstances surrounding the injury or illness are specific and identifiable.

A Cumulative or repetitive trauma is a gradual onset of injury or illness caused by repetitive acts or traumas. The most common cumulative trauma claims are to the back, wrist, hearing loss or psychological claims.
