Bustos v. Castle Constr. of Del., Inc., C.A.No.04A-12-007 MMJ, SUPERIOR COURT OF DELAWARE, NEW CASTLE, August 31, 2005, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Where a claimant's pre-injury wages were higher than his post-injury wages, the Industrial Accident Board did not err in finding that he failed to prove a decreased earning capacity as a result of injuries, because the loss of "actual wages" did not constitute a loss of earning capacity since his pre-injury wages were only temporarily increased.

Clark v. State, C. A. No. 04A-10-004-JEB, SUPERIOR COURT OF DELAWARE, NEW CASTLE, August 31, 2005, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Probative value of a video taken inside a bus in establishing what actually happened in an accident outweighed the risk that the Delaware Industrial Accident Board would draw an improper inference. The video was also relevant to a workers' compensation claimant's credibility, which was called into question during his testimony on cross-examination.

View this case - free  

Overview: Since defendant, held in default of bail, presented no evidence that criminal charges were facially invalid or had jurisdictional defects, his petition for habeas corpus relief was properly denied under Del. Code Ann. tit. 10, § 6902(1); therefore, appeal of that denial lacked merit and State's Del. Sup. Ct. R. 25(a) motion to affirm was granted.

May v. Remington Arms Co., C.A. No. 04C-08-270 FSS, SUPERIOR COURT OF DELAWARE, NEW CASTLE, August 31, 2005, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Because North Carolina was the situs of an injury and the injured party's residence, pursuant to Del. Code Ann. tit. 10, § 8121 (1999), the court borrowed North Carolina's statute of repose, which left the injured party without a right or a remedy; a manufacturer was entitled to summary judgment.
