Halsey Shedd RFPD v. Leopard

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that an injury occurred in the course of employment when an on-duty firefighter was injured while walking toward his fire truck on his way to church and attempting to answer a pager
• explaining that, although the claimant was nominally “on duty” all weekend, his actual status “was indistinguishable in practical terms from being on call”
• reasoning that the “risk that claimant’s foot would slip on the dirt and gravel in his own driveway was not a risk ‘distinctly associated’ with being a firefighter”
• employing the same standard of review
