In Re Compensation of Noble

While walking to a credit union to deposit a personal check during a paid break from work, claimant slipped on ice and fractured her right ankle. The Workers Compensation Board (the board) determined that, because claimants errand was not a recreational or social activity performed primarily for her personal pleasure, and because claimants employer controlled the parking lot where the fall occurred, the injury was sufficiently work-related to be compensable. Legacy Health Systems, the self-insured employer, seeks judicial review. We agree that claimants injury did not occur during a social or recreational activity and that it occurred "in the course of" employment, but, because the board failed to determine whether the injury arose "out of" claimants employment, we reverse and remand.
