If you work in Australia, anyway.
It says here that "A woman who was injured while traveling on business in NSW, Australia, in November '07 was denied worker's comp by the workplace safety tribunal on the grounds that the injury occurred in her motel room while she was having sex with a friend. (A wall fixture came loose as a result of the pair's vigorous antics). However in April 2012, Australia's Federal Court overturned the decision and granted the compensation, ruling that since the woman was on assignment at the time, the overnight stay, and even the sex, were 'ordinary incidents' of the situation her employer placed her in."
