In Yoder v. McCarthy Construction, 2023 Pa. Super. LEXIS 36 the Pennsylvania Superior Court recently denied a $5.59 million verdict to an injured worker. When Jason Yoder fell through a hole in the roof while doing repairs to Norwood Public Library, he sustained a catastrophic back injury. Yoder, working for subcontractor RRR Contractors then sued the general ,contractor on the job, McCarthy Construction. Significantly, Yoder had also filed a workers' compensation claim against RRR Contractors. This had settled via compromise and release (C&R) agreement which identified Yoder as the employee and RRR as the employer as parties to the C&R. As part of the C&R, Yoder resigned his employment from RRR.
