Steets, K., Aplt. v. Celebration Fireworks (wcab)

Summary

Justice Brobson, joining Justice Wecht’s dissent, argues that Section 410 of the Workers’ Compensation Act does not apply because Steets received total‑disability benefits up to her death and no specific‑loss benefits were owed to her estate, so the employer had no unpaid pre‑death debt. The dissent would affirm the Commonwealth Court’s decision.
