Re: statute of limitations
Generally the statute of limitations in which to bring a Workers' Compensation case is 2 years from the date of your accident.
The rules are different if your injury is related to an occupational hazard (i.e. asbestos) and are based on the date of discovery of your condition or "occupational sickness".
