Description
The question presented is whether the Longshoremen and Harbor Workers Compensation Act ("LHWCA"), 33 U.S.C. § 901 et seq., supplants the Pennsylvania Workmens Compensation Act ("PWCA"), 77 PS. § 1 et seq., or merely supplements it when a worker is injured while making repairs to a barge floating in the Ohio River. The Commonwealth Court held that the LHWCA merely supplemented the PWCA and the two acts shared concurrent jurisdiction. For the reasons stated below, we reverse the order of the learned Commonwealth Court.
