Supreme Court of Delaware

Holly Noel-Liszkiewicz, Below-Appellant v. La-Z-Boy, Employer Below-Appellee

February 12, 20132013 Del. LEXIS 75

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the denial of Noel-Liszkiewicz’s workers’ compensation petition because substantial evidence supported the Board’s finding that her respiratory conditions were not caused by workplace chemical exposure. The Board was entitled to credit the employer’s medical expert over the claimant’s experts and to resolve conflicts in the medical evidence. The Superior Court also properly declined to consider evidence that had not been presented to the Board.
