Supreme Court of Delaware

Warren v. Amsted Industries, Inc.

March 29, 2021

Summary

The Court affirmed the Superior Court and Board's determination that Warren voluntarily retired and removed herself from the workforce for reasons unrelated to her work injury, ending her entitlement to workers' compensation benefits. Applying deferential review to the Board's factual findings, the Court found sufficient evidence supporting the retirement determination and rejected Warren's waiver, preclusion, factual-error, and bias arguments. The Court did not reach the displaced-worker issue because the retirement finding independently resolved Warren's entitlement to benefits.
