Jackiw, J., Aplt. v. Soft Pretzel Franchise (wcab)

Summary

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania vacated the Commonwealth Court’s order and remanded the case, holding that the specific‑loss benefit formula in §306(c) requires a floor of one‑half of the statutory maximum compensation payable under §306(a), not a “personal maximum,” and that the Commonwealth Court erred by applying the total‑disability formula of §306(a) to a specific‑loss injury.
