Social security claim dismissed due to statute of limitations; claim barred until medical commission ruling. Claimant lacks ability to claim before accident protocol and disability decision.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the appellate court's decision dismissing the claimant's social security compensation request, ruling that the three-year statute of limitations had not yet begun. The court found the claimant could not have realistically demanded compensation before the employer drafted the accident protocol and the medical commission issued a disability determination linking the injury to the work trip. Consequently, the three-year limitation period started only upon the finalization of the medical commission's ruling, invalidating the lower courts' earlier conclusion that the claim was time-barred.
