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

Summary

Justice Wecht dissents, arguing that the majority erred in holding that the estate of Kristina Steets is entitled to uncollected specific‑loss benefits. The dissent maintains that Subsection 306(g) limits such benefits to deaths from causes other than the work injury and that Section 410 does not create a separate entitlement. Accordingly, the employer’s only post‑death obligation was funeral benefits.
