Decision

Decision  Maria Mantello v. C & K Components, Inc.

Date: 04/28/2003
Organization: Department of Industrial Accidents
Docket Number: DIA Board Nos. 071803-91, 020079-00
Location: Boston
  • Employee: Maria Mantello
  • Employer: C & K Components, Inc.
  • Insurer: Liberty Mutual Insurance Company and Pacific Indemnity Insurance Company

WILSON, J. The third insurer, Pacific Indemnity, in this successive insurer case appeals from a decision assessing liability against it for the employee’s claim that her de Quervain’s tenosynovitis was causally related to her work as a small parts sorter. Because the judge mischaracterized the G. L. c. 152, § 11A, impartial physician’s causal relationship opinion, and relied upon that mischaracterization in reaching his conclusion, we reverse the decision.
