CompFox AI Summary
This case involves an applicant seeking workers' compensation benefits for injuries sustained on March 18, 2009. The primary issue is whether the claim is barred by the statute of limitations under Labor Code section 5405. The applicant's claim was denied by the defendant on June 15, 2009, and the subsequent application for adjudication was filed on November 15, 2010. The Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration, upholding the administrative law judge's finding that the claim was not timely filed. The applicant's argument that the defendant failed to prove she had actual knowledge of the denial was unpersuasive given the documented denial and the lack of evidence of timely filing.
