Edwards v. Travelers Insurance

[¶ 1] Travelers Insurance Co., a workers’ compensation insurer for Crest Shoe Co., appeals from a decision of a hearing officer of the Workers’ Compensation Board awarding Goldie Edwards total incapacity benefits, but permitting an offset of $7.48 per week, as a result of Edwards’s lump sum settlement with another insurer for a subsequent injury.

We vacate the hearing officer’s decision and remand for determination of the appropriate level of benefits.
