Chaparral Boats, Inc. v. Heath

In Chaparral Boats, Inc. v. Heath, 269 Ga. App. 339 (1) (606 SE2d 567) (2004), the claimant tore cartilage in her knee while walking across her employer's premises to clock in for work. Id. The ALJ concluded that there was no connection between the claimant's job duties and the causative danger (walking) and denied benefits. Id. at 344 (1). The Board's Appellate Division adopted the ALJ's findings and conclusions. Id. The superior court reversed, and then the Court reversed, reinstating the administrative decision that the claimant's injury was not compensable. Id. at 348 (1).
