Workers’ compensation – Workers’ Compensation Trust Fund – Limitations period
By: Paul Lamoureux April 13, 2011	Where an administrative judge ordered the Workers’ Compensation Trust Fund to reimburse an insurer, pursuant to G.L.c. 152, §37, for certain G.L.c. 152, §30 medical benefits, we hold that the award “ran afoul of the two-year statute of limitations added to §37 by St. 1991, c. 398, §71.”

Workers’ compensation – Shoulder injuries
By: Paul Lamoureux April 12, 2011	Where an employee has appealed a decision denying his claims against four employers for right shoulder injuries, we conclude that the administrative judge erred in finding that the employee did not suffer industrial injuries to his right shoulder while working for Turner Construction Company and Flat Iron Construction Company.

By: Paul Lamoureux April 12, 2011	Where an employee has appealed an award of G.L.c. 152, §34 total incapacity benefits for a closed period, we reject his appeal because no merit exists to his claims that (1) the medical evidence on which the judge relied to terminate weekly benefits was insufficient to overcome the prima facie opinion of the §11A examiner, (2) the judge erred in excluding a medical report he deemed fell outside the periods for which he had allowed additional medical evidence and (3) the judge's handling of the evidence and certain comments in his decision reflect bias or the appearance of bias.
Workers’ compensation – Total incapacity – Additional medical evidence
By: Tom Egan April 6, 2011	Where an insurer has appealed from an administrative judge’s decision awarding an employee ongoing total incapacity benefits for an accepted injury to her hand, the appeal must fail, as the administrative judge did not err in denying the insurer’s motion for additional medical evidence.

Workers’ compensation – Partial disability – Medical benefits
By: Paul Lamoureux April 4, 2011	Where a judge denied an employee suffering occasional asthma partial incapacity benefits under G.L.c. 152, §35 and medical benefits under §30, we conclude that the judge’s order denying and dismissing the employee’s claims should be affirmed, but on different legal grounds.
