Decision

Decision  David Casey v. Town of Natick Police Department

Date: 05/20/1999
Organization: Department of Industrial Accidents
Docket Number: DIA Board No. 055509-95
Location: Boston
  • Employee: David Casey
  • Employer: Town of Natick Police Department
  • Self Insurer: Town of Natick

SMITH, J. The self-insurer appeals an award of further compensation commencing the date that prior compensation ended. Because G.L. c. 152, § 16 abrogates the traditional rule of res judicata in claims for further compensation, the further award is not precluded by the earlier conference order terminating benefits. As the judge's decision is rationally grounded in the record evidence and consistent with law, we affirm it.
