Montgomery County v. Smith
Court of Special Appeals of Maryland

1Opinion of the CourtSalmon, J.
The issue we must decide is whether an injury, which an off-duty prison guard suffered while playing basketball at the detention center where he worked, arose “out of and in the course of [his] employment,” as that phrase is used in the Workers’ Compensation Act. See Md.Code Ann., Lab. & Empl. § 9—101(b)(1) (2001). The answer to that question basically turns on whether Smith’s injury was “sufficiently work-related to be an incident of employment.” Mack Trucks, Inc. v. Miller, 23 Md.App. 271, 274, 326 A.2d 186 (1974). We shall hold that it was not.
