Mary Hudak-Lee v. Baxter County Regional Hospital and Risk Management Resources

Summary

The court held that substantial evidence did not support the Commission’s finding that Mary Hudak-Lee was not performing employment services when she was injured during a break. Because Hudak-Lee went outside to revive herself so she could remain alert while completing a twelve-hour shift and was returning to her assigned patient when she fell, she was advancing her employer’s interests. The court reversed and remanded the Commission’s decision and vacated the court of appeals’ opinion.
