Workers' Compensation Supreme Court Opinion

by Townsend, Karen

 

SC19631 - Holston v. New Haven Police Dept. (Workers' Compensation; "On appeal, the defendant asserts that the board improperly determined that the plaintiff’s heart disease claim was timely. Specifically, the defendant claims that the board improperly affirmed the decision of the commissioner that the plaintiff’s hypertension and heart disease were separate diseases, each with its own one year limitation period for filing a claim for benefits. We disagree with the defendant and, accordingly, affirm the decision of the board.")
