Brenda J. Pruitt, Appellant v. Providence Extended Care and Sedgwick Cms, Inc., Appellees

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Pruitt's workers' compensation claim because she did not request a hearing within two years after the employer's controversion and did not substantially comply with the statutory deadline. The court also held that the record supported rejection of her asserted excuses based on reliance on counsel and mental-health-related inability to understand the filing requirement. No separate opinions were filed.
