SEAN HARRIS vs. COAST CRANE COMPANY, EMPLOYERS INSURANCE OF WAUSAU, THUNDER MACHINE WORKS, AIX INSURANCE COMPANY, AEROTEK, ALLEGIS GROUP INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA

This case concerns a petition for reconsideration by defendant Wausau regarding an arbitrator's findings that applicant sustained industrial injury to his pulmonary system and upper extremities during a cumulative period. Wausau argued the claim was time-barred and that liability for upper extremity injury was improper. The Board denied Wausau's petition, finding Wausau failed to meet its burden of proof on the statute of limitations defense. The Board also determined that applicant properly amended his claim for upper extremities and that apportionment of liability based on days worked was appropriate.
