Decision  Donna Oliver v. Bristol Elder Services

Date: 12/15/2010
Organization: Department of Industrial Accidents
Docket Number: DIA Board Nos. 046702-04, 038851-05, 046278-05, 010094-06, 018421-06
Location: Boston
  • Employee: Donna Oliver
  • Employer: Bristol Elder Services
  • Insurer: Alea North America Insurance Co., Ace American Insurance Co., Alea North America Insurance Co., American Home Assurance Co., Arch Insurance Co.

FABRICANT, J. American Home Assurance (American), the last insurer in this successive insurer case, appeals from an administrative judge's decision holding it liable for the employee's bilateral carpal tunnel injury. Because we agree there is no evidence the employee's condition or symptoms worsened during the time American was on the risk, we reverse the decision, vacate the award of benefits against American, and recommit the case to the judge for further findings and additional evidence, if necessary.
