## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- holding that a petition seeking to add a psychiatric condition to a previously accepted back injury from over ten years prior was governed by the limitations period of Section 413(a) because the later injury “arose as a direct result of” the earlier injury

## Opinion text

Justice EAKIN,
Concurring.
While I dissented in Jeanes Hospital v. Workers’ Comp. Appeal Bd. (Hass), 872 A.2d 159 (Pa.2005), the majority of my colleagues were of the opposite position, making that the law of the Commonwealth; hence I join the Majority Opinion herein.
