Ken Farrar vs. MAINSTAY BUSINESS SOLUTIONS, METRO RISK MANAGEMENT

This case involves Ken Farrar's workers' compensation claim for cumulative trauma injury. The original judge found the claim barred by the statute of limitations, but the Appeals Board granted reconsideration. The Board determined that the employer's denial letter, which provided incorrect information regarding the filing deadline, estopped them from asserting the statute of limitations defense. Therefore, Farrar's claim was deemed timely filed.
