FIELD OF EXPERTISE DBA Statute of Limitation
DBA Statute of Limitation
A DBA Claim must be filed within one year after the injury or death or in the case of an occupational disease, two years from the injury or death. There is never a deadline to file a claim for medical benefits.
In most cases, an injured worker must give notice to their employer within 30 days of the injury. If you are the surviving dependent, you must give notice within 30 days after you become aware there was a relationship between the employment and the death. In the case of an occupational disease, you have one year to give notice after you become aware there was a relationship between the employment and the disease.
The statute is lenient, and notice is presumed to be timely, so don’t hesitate to contact the dba law group even if you are unsure that the date to provide notice has passed.
A DBA Lawyer can help to ensure your claim is filed properly and on time.
