Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
NIX, Chief Justice,
dissenting.
I remain of the view that the discovery rule should not be limited to occupational diseases but should also extend to injuries under section 301(c)(1), 77 P.S. § 411(1), of the Act. See Eddy v. Workers’ Compensation Appeal Bd., 534 Pa. 302 , 632 A.2d 873 (1993) (Papadakos, J., dissenting). Accordingly, I dissent from the majority’s reversal of the Commonwealth Court’s award of workers’ compensation benefits to Appellant.
