Decision

Decision  Brian Collins v. Progressive Roofing Co.

Date: 08/05/2020
Organization: Department of Industrial Accidents
Docket Number: DIA Board No. 024593-14
Location: Boston
  • Employee: Brian Collins
  • Employer: Progressive Roofing Co.
  • Insurer: Transportation Insurance Company

LONG, J.  The insurer appeals the February 28, 2019, hearing decision ordering it to pay § 34A, permanent total incapacity benefits.  It argues that the judge erred, first, by not discussing a vocational witness’ testimony, and second, by finding the impartial report inadequate and allowing additional medical evidence.  We summarily affirm as to the first issue.  Finding no merit to the insurer’s other argument presented on appeal, we affirm the judge’s decision.
