- Commonwealth Court rules that an off-duty Philadelphia Housing Authority police officer is not entitled to workers’ compensation benefits for injuries suffered in a shooting outside a bar in which the worker claimed to be a patron. In Graves v. Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board (Philadelphia Housing Authority), No. 142 C.D. 2009¸ the claimant alleged that, even though he was off-duty, he was acting as a police officer when he was shut during an altercation with a patron of the bar. The Court disagreed and ruled that the officer was not acting as a police officer and that his conduct during the incident was not consistent with an appropriate police action. Schaff & Young, P.C. served as counsel for PHA in this matter. Click here to read the Commonwealth Court opinion.
