CORRECTION OF MATHEMATICAL ERRORS IN C.R.D. OPINION OF APRIL 15, 1986
JOHN ARCUDI, Chairman.
The Respondents have called our attention to mathematical errors in the Opinion. These errors in no way affect the Finding and Award of April 15, 1986 which constitutes the decision of this Division. However, to preserve arithmetical accuracy the mistakes should be rectified.
Therefore the second paragraph on page 3 of the Opinion is corrected with corrected portions in bold type as follows:
Claimant was paid his medical bills and weekly compensation by Liberty Mutual Insurance Co., the employer’s carrier, at the rate applicable under Massachusetts law, $227.31 weekly from May 17, 1980 until August 5, 1980. Under Ohio law his rate would have been $258.00 weekly and under Rhode Island, $199.00 weekly. His compensation rate were Connecticut law to govern would be the statutory maximum prevailing at the time of his injury, $261.00, plus $10.00 weekly for his dependent child or $271.00. The specific compensation payable in his case for 100% loss of the left eye is $6,000 under Massachusetts law, $16,125, Ohio and $31,840, Rhode Island. Connecticut law would award him 235 weeks of compensation at $261.00 per week or $60,291.00 for 100% loss of the left eye.
