NORMAN WESEMAN vs. CITY OF CATHEDRAL CITY, Permissibly Self-Insured, SUPERIOR READY MIX, Permissibly Self-Insured

This case consolidates three workers' compensation claims for applicant Norman Weseman. The Appeals Board affirmed findings that claims against Superior Ready Mix (ADJ9531390) and the City of Cathedral City (ADJ9352398) for heart/hypertension and firefighter injuries were not barred by the statute of limitations. However, the Board rescinded a finding regarding a specific injury claim against the City of Cathedral City (ADJ9352393) due to insufficient medical evidence on the injury's manifestation date and returned it for further proceedings. The core legal issue concerns when the statute of limitations begins to run for latent industrial injuries.
