Darlyn Piper vs. DANKA OFFICE IMAGING, ZURICH NORTH AMERICA, LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE CO.

This case concerns applicant Darlyn Piper's appeal of a permanent disability award for injuries sustained while employed by Danka Office Imaging. Applicant argues for total permanent disability, challenging the WCJ's reliance on Dr. Marinow's apportionment and deposition testimony. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration because the WCJ failed to address the admissibility of Dr. Marinow's deposition testimony. The case is therefore remanded for the WCJ to determine the deposition's admissibility and weight before issuing a new decision.

DARLYN PIPER vs. DANKA OFFICE IMAGING, ZURICH NORTH AMERICA, LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY

This case involves cross-petitions for reconsideration of an award for applicant's industrial injuries. The Board denied the applicant's petition and granted the defendant's, clarifying that Zurich North America is solely liable. The Board affirmed the WCJ's decision, amending the award to reflect the applicant's election against Zurich and allowing Zurich to seek contribution from Liberty Mutual. A dissenting opinion argued that the apportionment of permanent disability was speculative and unsupported by substantial medical evidence.
