Justice BAER,
concurring.
I join the majority opinion in full. I write simply to observe, as an aside, that the challenge made by Gentex and/or its insurance carrier (collectively referred to as “Gentex”) strikes me as a troubling example of what I view as inappropriate corporate conduct. Ms. Morack joined Gentex in 1960, immediately out of high school, and loyally served in three progressively more important positions for the next 45 years, often working after-hours to complete the more demanding tasks asked of her. Rather than acknowledging the undisputed genesis of her injuries and paying her the due compensation, Gentex opted to pursue a technical defense in the hope of avoiding its rightful obligations. It is unfortunate that someone in corporate management chose to pursue this regrettable course.
Justice McCAFFERY joins this concurring opinion.
