The Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Act (the "IACIA") has been amended such that, in addition to accidents that occur while an employee commutes to or from work under the control and management of his/her employer, an accident occurring while an employee commutes to or from work using his/her usual route and means (e.g., the employee's own car, bicycle, walking to work, commuting using public transportation) will be, in principle, deemed to be an occupational accident.
