1993An analogous situation arose in Martin v. Workmen’s Compensation Appeal Board (Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation), 111 Pa.Commonwealth Ct. 201, 533 A.2d 810 (1987), where claimant Charles Martin (Martin), a steel mill worker, knew that he had a substantial work-related hearing loss in 1976 and had to wear hearing aids in both ears by 1979 but did not file his claim petition until 1984.

1993In Martin v. Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board (Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp.), 111 Pa.Commonwealth Ct. 201, 533 A.2d 810 (1987), a steelworker's doctor informed him of a work-related hearing loss in 1979 and prescribed hearing aids.

2000It concluded that the legislature did not intend to “vitiate the normal principle that an employer is responsible for a disability caused by a combination of work-related and [nonwork-related] factors if the work-related factors were a substantial contributing factor to the injury even though a claimant may have been more susceptible to that type of injury because of his age or preexisting condition.” USX Corp., 727 A.2d at 166 .

Washington Steel Corp. v. Workers' Compensation Appeal Board green
pacommwct · 1999
1 sentence

1999Because the WCJ accepted his medical expert’s testimony that Claimant’s hearing loss of 4.9% was caused by aging and 9.8 % was due to other causes, Employer contends that the Board erred in reversing the WCJ because Claimant failed to establish that he suffered a work-related hearing loss, making it indistinguishable from this Court’s recent decision in Washington Steel Corporation v. Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board (Waugh), 734 A.2d 81 (Pa.Cmwlth.1999).

Workmen’s Compensation Appeal Board (Kaiser Aluminum), 156 Pa.Commonwealth Ct. 556, 628 A.2d 514 (1993), which is cited by Employer and in which we held that the date on which the claimant’s doctor informed him that he suffered a work-related hearing loss was not dispositive.

1992Recently, in Taras v. Wausau Insurance Companies, 412 Pa.Super. 37 , 602 A.2d 882 (1992), this court illustrated the fine distinctions between actions arising as a result of the carrier's mishandling of claims which have as their ultimate basis the underlying work-related claim, and actions which are not based upon an injury compensable under the Act and seek redress for a separate injury.
