Description
Employer, Tony DePaul & Son, and claimant, Thomas Rissi, cross-appeal from the order of the Workers' Compensation Appeal Board (Board), which affirmed the decision of the Workers' Compensation Judge (WCJ) denying DePaul's termination petition, directing satisfaction of DePaul's subrogation right in the proceeds of a third party tort judgment and directing DePaul to pay Rissi's outstanding medical expenses. Rissi contends that the tort judgment is not subrogable because the injuries arose from the operation of a street sweeper, which he asserts is a motor vehicle and, therefore, subject to the exclusion from workers' compensation subrogation provided under Section 1720 of the Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law (MVFRL) prior to its amendment in 1993. *fn1 DePaul contends that the WCJ erred in premising the refusal to terminate benefits and direction to pay medical expenses on health conditions not listed in the notice of compensation payable (NCP). DePaul also asserts that the WCJ's order does not fully enforce its subrogation right to recover expenditures for medical treatment. *fn2
