A theater security guard's award of workers compensation benefits has been affirmed by the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania even though the guard used a building entrance that his employer had prohibited employees from using. The case is Fine Arts Discovery Series, Inc. v. Critton, 2022 Pa. Commw. Unpub. LEXIS 444 (Pa. Commw. Ct. 2022). Please note that this case is an unpublished decision and may be cited and relied upon when relevant under the doctrine of the law of the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. It may also be cited for its persuasive value, but not as binding precedent.
