Summary from the Troubh Heisler Attorneys

Towle apparently injured himself at work and filed petitions, resulting in an award of partial incapacity benefits. Towle argued that Judge Elwin erred when she calculated his benefits by including his pre-injury fringe benefits as part of his pre-injury AWW under ยง102(4)(H) and Coulombe. The Appellate Division affirmed the decision in summary fashion.
