- Self Insurer: Mass Bay SIG
HORAN, J. The self-insurer appeals from a decision in which the administrative judge ordered payment of a closed period of partial, followed by ongoing total, incapacity benefits for the employee’s work-related neck and upper back injury. Because there is no evidence to support the judge’s finding that the employee provided the requisite notice of a work-related injury to the employer/self-insurer, or that the employer otherwise had knowledge that the injury was work-related, we vacate the decision and recommit the case for further findings addressing whether there was prejudice to the self-insurer as a result of the lack of notice or knowledge.
