Harlow v. Emery-Waterhouse Co.

Emery-Waterhouse Company and its insurer, American Mutual Liability Insurance Company, appeal from a decision of the Appellate Division of the Workers’ Compensation Commission vacating the Commissioner’s dismissal of Elizabeth Harlow’s petition for an award of compensation for the death of her husband, Lowell Harlow.
