EALWINDER MANN (Deceased) MOHINDER MANN (Widow) vs. DARBARA SINGH, DARBARA SINGH Dba D&G TRANSPORT

This case concerns a deceased truck driver, Balwinder Mann, whose widow, Mohinder Mann, is claiming workers' compensation benefits. The defendant, Darbara Singh, dba D&G Transport, appealed a decision finding Mann was an employee and that the statute of limitations did not bar the claim. The defendant argued Mann was an independent contractor due to an agreement and lack of control, and that the claim was time-barred. The Appeals Board denied reconsideration, affirming the WCJ's findings that Singh retained sufficient control to establish an employer-employee relationship, and that the defendant's failure to provide a claim form tolled the statute of limitations.
