Description

OAKS, Justice: This case concerns the time limits for reporting an injury and filing a claim by a self-employed worker covered by workmen's compensation. Perkes is a self-employed operator of a service station. In November 1980, he suffered a hernia in the course of his employment. He sought no medical help and filed no claim or report of injury. On March 3, 1982, the pre-existing hernia strangulated, and he was hospitalized for corrective surgery. Medical expenses totaled $2,013.40. The Industrial Commission ordered the State Insurance Fund to pay this amount, plus $22.72 for lost time. On this petition for review, the Fund argues that the award should be set aside because Perkes' claim was not filed in time.
