Supreme Court of Arkansas

Walter Farris v. Express Services, Inc., and New Hampshire Insurance Company

May 9, 2019572 S.W.3d 863

Summary

The court held that the claimant's additional-benefits claim was barred because the corrected claim form identifying the proper employer was filed one day after the applicable two-year limitations period expired. The earlier form, filed within the period, did not preserve the claim because it identified a different employer and sought benefits from that employer. The court affirmed the Commission's decision and vacated the court of appeals' opinion.
