Funaioli v. City of New London

Opinion

MIHALAKOS, J.

The plaintiff, Raymond Funaioli, appeals from the decision of the workers’ compensation review board (board) affirming the commissioner’s dismissal of his claim for permanent partial disability benefits. The plaintiff argues that the board improperly affirmed the decision of the commissioner because the commissioner, contrary to law, ignored uncontradicted expert testimony establishing that a prior, work-related psychological injury was a substantial factor in causing the plaintiffs permanent partial disability of the brain. We disagree and affirm the decision of the board.
