Traveling employee who slipped on dance floor wins Maryland comp appeal

A traveling employee who slipped while dancing at a nightclub and injured his pelvis should receive workers compensation benefits, the Maryland Court of Special Appeals has ruled. Court records show Dallas E. Gravette worked as an audio visual technician for Visual Aids Electronics Corp., which provides audiovisual rental and staging services to hotels, resorts and convention and conference facilities. The Germantown, Maryland-based company asked Mr. Gravette to travel from his home in Idaho to the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland for work in July 2011.
