Decision  Elizabeth Carroll v. State Street Bank & Trust

Date:	10/26/2005
Organization:	Department of Industrial Accidents
Docket Number:	DIA Board Nos. 033214-96, et al.
Location:	Boston

• Employee: Elizabeth Carroll
• Employer: State Street Bank & Trust
• Insurer: Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, Travelers Insurance Company

HORAN, J. Travelers, the second insurer in this successive insurer case, appeals from a decision in which an administrative judge ordered it to pay the employee benefits for a new injury to her hands on February 23, 2001.¹ The employee initially suffered a work-related overuse injury to her hands on March 1, 1996; Liberty Mutual accepted liability for that injury and paid benefits. We agree with Travelers that the judge's finding of a new industrial injury lacked medical evidentiary support.

 

 

¹ We summarily affirm the decision with respect to the employee's issues on appeal.
