What are the time limits for filing a claim?
Generally, an employee who fails to file a claim within the time limits loses his or her right to claim future benefits. In most cases, the employee must file a claim within three years after an injury, death, or disablement from an occupational disease, or within two years of the last payment of TTD or a medical bill, whichever is later. Some cases have different deadlines including asbestos exposure, death, occupational disease, pneumoconiosis and radiation exposure.
