An associate attorney at a law firm who was struck by a vehicle while engaged in a mid-day walk was deemed outside the course and scope of his employment.

Christopher v. Joseph T. Hardy & Sons, IAB No.: 1318548 (Dec. 9, 2013).

Gondek v. Easy Money Group, C.A. No.: N13A-04-008 FSS (Del. Super. Ct. Dec. 27, 2013).
The Industrial Accident Board denied Claimant’s Petition to Determine Compensation Due, concluding that her injury occurred outside the course and scope of her employment. On appeal, the Superior Court affirmed the Board’s decision.
The Court held that a doctor's testimony that he was satisfied to a reasonable degree of medical certainty that a work accident accelerated the claimant's injury and his need for surgery, was sufficient evidence for the Board to infer that the accident proximately caused the surgery. The proper standard, correctly applied by the Board, is whether the surgery would have been required at that time but for the accident.
Meloni v. General Motors Corp.
This case includes a comprehensive discussion of the standard of causation for cumulative detrimental effect injuries. The Claimant must prove that the ordinary "stress and strain" of employment formed the substantial cause of his workers' compensation claim. That ordinary "stress and strain" must exist as a direct cause to the basis of the claim without which the injuries would not have occurred.
