DISMISSAL OF A CLAIM BASED UPON THE PRECLUSION OF AN INDEPENDENT MEDICAL EXAMINATION (IME) REPORT DID NOT CONSTITUTE LITIGATION OF THE CLAIM; CLAIMANT WAS ENTITLED TO CONSIDERATION OF THE CLAIM BASED UPON A NEW IME REPORT (THIRD DEPT).

The Third Department, reversing the Workers’ Compensation Board, determined that the dismissal of the claim based upon the preclusion of the 2015 Independent Medical Examination (IME) report was not a litigation on the merits and claimant was not precluded from further consideration of the claim based upon a new 2017 IME report:

Claimant contends that the Board erred in denying his request for further action without considering … 2017 IME report on the ground that the claim had already been litigated and disallowed. We agree. By disallowing the claim in its prior decision based upon the record as it existed after the preclusion of … 2015 IME report, and declaring that no further direction was planned at the time, the Board did not deny the claim outright … . As such, the Board’s prior decision did not preclude claimant from submitting further medical evidence of causally-related consequential injuries (see Workers’ Compensation Law § 123 … ). Accordingly, the Board’s decision that the claim for causally-related consequential injuries was already litigated and that claimant could not submit further medical evidence in support thereof was in error, as was its decision denying reconsideration, and they must be reversed. Matter of Galatro v Slomins, Inc., 2019 NY Slip Op 53955, Third Dept 11-27-19
