Decision

Decision  Deborah Dean v. Access Nurses, Inc.

Date: 09/29/2009
Organization: Department of Industrial Accidents
Docket Number: DIA Board No.: 041572-04
  • Employee: Deborah Dean
  • Employer: Access Nurses, Inc.
  • Insurer: Commerce & Industry Insurance Co.

HORAN, J. The employee appeals from a decision denying and dismissing her claim for benefits stemming from a fall on ice on her apartment's premises while leaving for work. Because she was employed as a traveling nurse, and was residing in an employer-provided apartment while on an assignment at Beverly Hospital, we conclude the employee's claim is compensable. We therefore reverse the decision, and recommit the case for further findings addressing the employee's claimed period of incapacity.
