Supreme Court of New Hampshire

Appeal of Caitlyn Wittenauer

September 7, 2022

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire affirmed the Compensation Appeals Board’s denial of workers’ compensation benefits to Caitlyn Wittenauer. The Court held that the claimant failed to meet her preponderance‑of‑the‑evidence burden for both legal and medical causation, and that the Board’s factual findings were supported by competent evidence. The decision relied on established New Hampshire workers’ compensation precedent.
