AC44111 - DeJesus v. R.P.M Enterprises, Inc. (“Workers’ Compensation Commission and jurisdiction;
compensable injury; entitlement to temporary total disability benefits and
payment for medical bills; “Because R.P.M. did not carry workers’ compensation
insurance, the defendant Second Injury Fund (fund) was cited in as a party to
the action pursuant to General Statutes § 31-355. On appeal, R.P.M. and Marion
claim that the board erred in affirming (1) the commissioner’s rulings that the
plaintiff’s claim for benefits was not time barred pursuant to General Statutes
§ 31-294c3 and that the plaintiff was an employee of R.P.M. and/or Marion, (2)
the award of compensation by the commissioner against Marion at the request of
the fund when no claim was brought against Marion, and (3) the decision of the
commissioner that he had jurisdiction to make a finding that R.P.M. and Marion
were the same entity for the purposes of piercing the corporate veil. We
reverse, in part, the decisions of the board.”)
