Decision  Miguel Hernandez v. Everett Truck Repair Co.

Date:	05/08/2006
Organization:	Department of Industrial Accidents
Docket Number:	DIA Board No. 011589-02
Location:	Boston

• Employee: Miguel Hernandez
• Employer: Everett Truck Repair Co.
• Insurer: Ace American Insurance Co.

FABRICANT, J. The insurer appeals from a decision awarding the employee benefits for an accepted crush injury to his left hand. The insurer argues that the judge’s finding of a causal relationship between the hand injury and the employee’s left medial epicondylitis (elbow pain) was unsupported by the medical evidence. We agree, reverse the decision in part, and recommit the case for further findings on the extent of disability.
