Subrogation and the Heart and Lung Act

As is well known, an employer's right to subrogation under Section 319 of the Workers' Compensation Act has consistently been found to be ­absolute, with few exceptions. The most notable example being where the injured worker recovers from an uninsured motorist policy paid for by the employee himself. There is, however, another exception that can be missed, which was recently addressed in the Commonwealth Court case of Pennsylvania State Police v. Workers' Compensation Appeal Board (Bushta), No. 2426 C.D. 2015.

When Is a Dismissal With Prejudice Warranted?

When litigating a workers' ­compensation case, the parties are often at the whim of a ­doctor who has a remarkably busy schedule and who may cancel a deposition on the eve of a scheduling order in a case before a regimented workers' compensation judge. Moreover, fact witnesses who are less than concerned with your client's case are often difficult to locate or reach and can give the parties fits in agreeing on a mutually ­convenient date, time and place for a ­deposition. All of these potential delays can lead to a case being either withdrawn or ­dismissed with or without prejudice to refile.
