Decision  Janet Brooks v. Rural Housing Improvement, Inc.

Date: 12/13/1999
Organization: Department of Industrial Accidents
Docket Number: DIA Board No. 067504-92
Location: Boston
  • Employee: Janet Brooks
  • Employer: Rural Housing Improvement, Inc.
  • Insurer: Liberty Mutual Insurance Co.

MAZE-ROTHSTEIN, J. The insurer appeals a decision awarding ongoing compensation benefits for the employee’s work–related emotional injury and her temporomandibular joint ("T.M.J.") condition. The insurer contends that the judge erred by: 1) ignoring non-work-related causes of the employee’s complaints; 2) awarding benefits when the employee voluntarily resigned from her position with the employer and received unemployment benefits; and 3) awarding benefits for injuries causally related to bona fide personnel actions in direct contravention of G. L. c. 152, § 1(7A). We disagree, and affirm the decision.
