Qualification of an accident suffered by an employee during an assignment

An accident that occurs to an employee during an assignment is presumed to be an accident at work, whether it takes place during a professional act or an act of everyday life. However, this accident will not be recognized as such if you can prove that the employee had, at that time, interrupted his or her mission for a personal reason (leisure activities, etc.).

To do this, it is not enough for you to simply point out that the accident occurred while the employee was in a discotheque in the middle of the night. Indeed, he could very well have been there for a professional reason, for example, with clients or to respond to an invitation as part of his mission. You will therefore have to establish, in particular by means of witness testimony, that the employee was there for a personal reason that had no connection with his work.
