SC20004 - Gould v. Stamford (Single-member limited liability companies; concurrent employment of City of Stamford and Intervale; whether the plaintiff is
"
eligible for concurrent compensation benefits from the
defendant Second Injury Fund (fund) pursuant to General Statutes § 31-310...The fund denied the claim for benefits on the ground that
the plaintiff was not Intervale’s employee. The plaintiff sought review of this
ruling by the Workers’ Compensation Commission (commission). After a hearing,
the Workers’ Compensation Commissioner for the Seventh District (commissioner) determined
that the plaintiff was not an employee of Intervale for purposes of the act
and, therefore, did not qualify for compensation benefits based on his
allegedly concurrent employment. The plaintiff appealed from the decision of
the commissioner to the Compensation Review Board (board), which affirmed that
decision. This appeal followed. We conclude that the plaintiff qualifies as
Intervale’s employee for purposes of the act and, therefore, is eligible for
concurrent employment benefits pursuant to § 31-3”)
