Description
In this workers compensation case, Piad Corporation (Employer) changed workers compensation carriers after Thomas Moskyok (Claimant) became symptomatic for carpal tunnel syndrome, but before that condition was diagnosed or medical expenses were incurred. The Workers Compensation Judge (WCJ) determined that the date of injury was January 18, 1995, and concluded that Employer and its risk carrier AIG Claim Services (AIG) were responsible for payment of Claimants medical expenses. AIG appealed to the Workers Compensation Appeal Board (Board), which reversed the WCJs decision in part, reasoning that the diagnosis was rendered in May or June of 1995, thereby establishing that time period as the inception of liability for workers compensation purposes, and concluding that EBI Companies (EBI) was the carrier on the risk. This appeal followed, and both insurers concede that the only issue is whether the proper date of injury is January 18, 1995, making AIG liable for Claimants reasonable and necessary medical expenses, or May 8, 1995, making EBI liable for Claimants bills.
