Date range

Although claimant cannot be working with a concurrent employer on date of work injury with another employer, the relationship with the concurrent employer was sufficiently intact that concurrent wages must be included in calculating average weekly wage.

The claimant sustained an injury on December 29, 2018, while working as a home health aide. The claim was accepted by the employer, and the claimant began receiving benefits at the rate of $468 per week, based on an average weekly wage of $520. What’s Hot in Workers’ Comp, Vol. 28, No.

Superior Court affirms decision that claimant failed to prove she contracted COVID-19 at work, but does not reach issue of whether COVID-19 qualifies as an occupational disease for a nurse who worked in the “COVID wing” of a hospital.

Ms. Hudson worked as a front-line nurse for the employer on its COVID-19 floor in the Fall of 2020. She contracted COVID at some point in October 2020 and was hospitalized on October 21, 2020. Her sons contracted the virus at the same time. What’s Hot in Workers’ Comp, Vol. 28, No.
