Madden v. Mountain West Fabricators
Supreme Court of Colorado
Decided April 12, 1999No. 97SC856PublishedCited by 6 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtChief Justice Mullarkey
We granted certiorari to determine whether the court of appeals erroneously concluded in Mountain West Fabricators v. Madden, 958 P.2d 482 (Colo.App.1997), that petitioner, Michael R. Madden, is not entitled to recovery under the Workers’ Compensation Act of Colorado, sections 8-40-101 to 8-47-209, 3 C.R.S. (1998). 1 Madden was injured in a single car accident that occurred while he was driving from his home to his employer’s temporary construction site. We hold that, as a matter of law, Madden’s injuries are not compensable. Therefore, we affirm the decision of the court of appeals.
