Alco of Wyoming v. Baker

Appellees Myra Baker (Baker) and Lori Jones (Jones) were employees of appellant Alco of Wyoming (Alco). They had attended a company picnic. Baker was driving home from the picnic with Jones as her passenger when Bakers truck left the road, injuring them both. Baker and Jones applied for and received workers compensation awards. Some of the awards were objected to by the employer, Alco, and all of them were objected to by the Wyoming State Treasurer through the Workers Compensation Division. Both Alco and the State appealed the district courts orders allowing the coverage under the workers compensation statutes, § 27-12-101 et seq., W.S. 1977.
