Description
OPINION BY JUDGE SMITH Duquesne Truck Service and Nationwide Insurance Company (Petitioners) appeal from an order of the Workmen's Compensation
Appeal Board (Board) affirming the referee's grant of a fatal claim petition and award of benefits to Audrey Jordan (Claimant)
following the death of her husband George Jordan (Decedent) pursuant to the Workers' Compensation Act (Act). 1 The appeal
alleges five points of error in the referee's decision: in finding that Nationwide provided workers' compensation insurance
to McKeesport Trucking Service (McKeesport); in failing to find whether Decedent was employed by McKeesport or Duquesne; in
failing to find that Decedent was in violation of the law at the time of the accident; in finding that Decedent was an employee
rather than an independent contractor; and in finding that the accident occurred in the course of Decedent's employment.
