Supreme Court of Delaware

Steppi v. Conti Electric, Inc.

March 16, 2010991 A.2d 19

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware reversed the Superior Court and reinstated the Industrial Accident Board's award of total disability benefits to Steppi. The Court held that the Board's findings that Steppi was exposed to hydrogen sulfide and that the exposure caused his somatoform disorder were supported by substantial evidence, and that the Superior Court improperly reweighed the evidence and credibility of witnesses. No separate opinions were issued.
