In Leslie Fay Companies, et al. v. WCAB (Macaluso, et al.) the Commonwealth Court let stand a WCJ's decision finding the date of injury in a cumulative trauma case was the last day of work. The insurer appealed because the Claimant had a long history of symptoms and the last insurer only covered the Employer for two an a half months.
As stated recently by the Supreme Court in City of Philadelphia v. WCAB (Williams) the analysis of the appropriate date of injury in a cumulative trauma case looks only to whether credited medical evidence establishes each day of work causes an "aggravation" or new injury.
