Decision

Decision  Violet Lotter v. City of Chelsea School Dept.

Date: 04/25/2001
Organization: Department of Industrial Accidents
Docket Number: DIA Board No. 018968-96
Location: Boston
  • Employee: Violet Lotter
  • Employer: City of Chelsea School Dept.
  • Self Insurer: City of Chelsea

MAZE-ROTHSTEIN, J. The self-insurer appeals from a decision awarding the employee workers’ compensation benefits for mental and chronic pain conditions causally related to a fall at work. The self-insurer is correct that there is inadequate support for the conclusion that the fall at work remained a major cause of the employee’s depression, a non-work-related condition which pre-existed the industrial incident. See G. L. c. 152, §1(7A) . We therefore recommit the case for further findings on the extent of incapacity.
