On July 6, 2024, Huang Jiewen was involved in a car accident during the commute to work, which was considered an occupational injury. While accidents during the commute are generally viewed as occupational injuries, individual circumstances may lead to differences in treatment. Workers who disagree with the Labor Insurance Bureau's rulings can apply for dispute review with the Ministry of Labor. It highlights a case where a worker, injured in a motorcycle accident on the way to work, was denied occupational injury compensation due to not having the required driver's license, which was disputed but ultimately rejected by the review committee. The article emphasizes that although passing a motorcycle license test is essential, not possessing the license still disqualifies driving as legal. The Ministry of Labor calls for understanding that accidents during the commute are considered occupational injuries, yet serious traffic violations or non-essential personal actions fall outside the scope of labor accident insurance protection.
