Liberatore v. Monongahela Ry. Co., PICS Case No. 16-0464 (Pa. Super. April 7, 2016) Ott, J. (35 pages).
Railroad was permitted to deduct taxes for a personal injury award, because such benefits were classified by law as wages where the jury returned a general verdict that did not allocate damages specifically for the personal injury claim such that the entire award could be treated as pay for time lost. Judgment vacated; case remanded.
