PMA Group v. Workers' Compensation Appeal Board

Where an employer mistakenly submitted a claim to its new insurance carrier for an injury that occurred when the employer was covered by the PMA Group, the Workers' Compensation Judge was not required to consider the timeliness or manner in which the new carrier had handled the claim in order to exercise his authority to review and correct mistakes and to find PMA to be the responsible insurance carrier.

The PMA Group (PMA) petitions for review of the June 23, 2000 order of the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board (Board) that affirmed the May 15, 1998 decision of a workers’ compensation judge (WCJ) substituting PMA as the responsible insurance carrier in this action. We affirm.

The following facts are summarized from the WCJ’s findings. On June 30, 1993, George Nickles (Claimant) was injured in the course of his employment as a roofer with Keystone Contractors, Inc. (Employer). Claimant cracked a bridge in his mouth and suffered injuries to his hands, elbows and knees, but he did not seek medical treatment immediately and he continued working for approximately three months.
