Refusal to Allow Carrier to Call Witnesses Warranted Reversal

n an opinion by Justice Rose, the Third Department reversed the decision of the Workers’ Compensation Board because the Workers’ Compensation Law Judge refused to allow the carrier to further develop the record (by calling witnesses). The Court stated:  “It is axiomatic that both the claimant and the employer or its workers’ compensation carrier are entitled to introduce witnesses in compensation proceedings…”.  In the Matter of Mason v Glens Falls Ready Mix, et al, 514744, 3rd Dept. 3-14-13
