Jaffer v. Holiday Station Stores, Inc. & Broadspire

Apr 17, 2015

OUTCOME: The WCCA affirmed the compensation judge's decision, finding that the Employee did suffer a compensable work injury and notice had been given within the statutory period.

The Employee sustained a work injury on March 21, 2013 and reported the injury to his supervisors on two separate occasions. The Employer/Insurer argued that the supervisor was not working with the Em ... ployee on the date of injury, therefore, they questioned that the alleged incident even occurred and questioned the Employee's credibility. They brought a notice defense stating that they were not given proper notice. The case went to hearing and the compensation judge found that proper notice had been given within 180 days. The Employer/Insurer appealed.
