Insurance Co. of North America v. Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board

Opinion by

President Judge Crumlish, Jr.,

The Workmen’s Compensation Appeal Board (Board) affirmed a referee’s order that either Crown Weaving Corporation (Employer) or the Insurance Company of North America (INA) pay benefits to Stanton Dettenmeyer (Employee). INA, contending that it is not the responsible insurance carrier, appeals. We affirm in part and reverse in part.

Dettenmeyer is entitled indisputably to benefits under Section 108 (p) of The Pennsylvania Workmen’s Compensation Act1 (Act) for disability caused by byssinosis. The sole issue is whether INA must pay those benefits.
