It has recently come to my attention that if you have an accident on your way to work, no other reason and are hurt you can be paid for time lost. Alabama

I think it depends on your job and the situation, the type of employment, the status of the employee, the purpose of the driving at the time, etc.... In most cases, if you can prove a work-related function at the time of the accident, there is coverage, but it is not always necessarily going and coming from work is work-related.
