WORKER'COMPENSATION
Lapierre v. Cumberland Lincoln Mercury Worker's Compensation Commission Portland, Maine
Mr. Lapierre's widow sought compensation
for her husband’s suicide which she alleged was work related. Employer's expert Robinson conducted a
psychological autopsy of the decedent and concluded that work related stressors
(the decedent was on worker’s compensation at the time of his suicide by
gunshot) were not the cause of Lapierre's suicide. The Worker’s Compensation Commission
concurred.

Mr. Ayres was a highly compensated professional. In the course of his employment he
developed a significant physiological disorder. The defendant retained Charles
Robinson PHD to examine the plaintiff to determine issues of causation, damage, and
employability. Dr. Robinson concluded that the plaintiff was indeed unable to be
employed in his usual occupation as result of his work related physiological trauma.
Following Dr. Robinson’s deposition the matter was concluded.
