Supreme Court of Minnesota
Alapati Noga v. Minnesota Vikings Football Club and Travelers Group, Employer/insurer, and Minnesota Vikings…
July 31, 2019931 N.W.2d 801
Summary
The Minnesota Supreme Court reversed the Workers' Compensation Court of Appeals, holding that Alapati Noga’s workers’ compensation claim is barred by the statute of limitations in Minn. Stat. § 176.151 because the employer’s provision of over‑the‑counter pain medication did not constitute a proceeding that tolled the limitations period. The court declined to address the Gillette injury and notice issues.
