Heckler that the administrative law judge must give considerable weight to the opinions of a treating physician in a social security disability case.?? In 2002, in the case of?McIlvaine v. WCAB (States), Mr. Quatrini persuaded the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that if a truck driver is injured while passing through Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Act will cover that injury, and it does not matter where a truck driver lives or where a truck driver was hired.? As a result of this decision, any individual who is hurt while working in Pennsylvania will have the protection of the Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Act.
