Decision  James A. Verderico, Jr. v. Harvard University

Date: 10/05/2006
Organization: Department of Industrial Accidents
Docket Number: DIA Board No. 027383-03
Location: Boston
  • Employee: James A. Verderico, Jr.
  • Employer: Harvard University
  • Self Insurer: Harvard University

COSTIGAN, J. The employee appeals from an administrative judge’s decision denying and dismissing his claim for workers’ compensation benefits based on the so-called "going and coming" rule. The judge found that the motor vehicle accident in which the employee was injured occurred while he was commuting from home to work a two hour detail for his employer, and therefore his resulting injuries did not arise out of and in the course of his employment. We affirm the decision.
