In Cardillo v. Liberty Mutua Ins. Co., 330 U.S. 469, it has been held that phrase "arising out of and in the course of employment" as "deceptively simple and litiguously prolific phrase."

9. One of the tests for determining as to whether an accident could be held to have arisen out of employment is that the workman is in fact employed on or performing the duties of his employment at the time of accident. Another test would be that the accident: occurred at or about the place where the performance of his duties required him to be present. It is not a case where the accident involved a risk common to all humanity and did not involve any peculiar or exceptional danger resulting from the nature of the employment or where the accident was the result of an added peril to which the workman, by his own conduct, exposed himself, which peril was not involved in the normal performance of the duties of his employment.
