AC41237 - Brocuglio v. Thompsonville Fire District #2
(Heart and Hypertension Act (sec. 7-433c); notice of claim (sec.
31-294c (a)) “The defendant claims that the board improperly affirmed the
commissioner’s award because the plaintiff’s heart disease claim was not timely
filed pursuant to General Statutes § 31-294c (a), and § 7-433c (a) does not
allow a claimant to file more than one claim for heart disease. We conclude
that because the plaintiff failed to file a claim in 2000 when he was first
informed by a medical professional that he had heart disease, the claim he
filed for heart disease in 2013 is jurisdictionally barred. We, therefore,
reverse the decision of the board.”)
