In Light of Whitmoyer, Have Third Party Settlement Agreements Radically Changed? | Chartwell Law

Since the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s decision in
Whitmoyer v. Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board (Mountain Country Meats), 186 A3d 947 (Pa. 2018), circulated on June 19, 2018 (as you will see, the date matters), an employer's right to subrogation in Third Party Settlement Agreements has drastically changed.
Whitmoyer states that an employer may no longer take a credit against payment of future medical expenses, pursuant to Section 319 of the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act (the Act) when there is a balance of recovery remaining after a third party settlement or recovery.
Whitmoyer now holds that Section 319 of the Act permits an employer to take a credit for future indemnity benefits
