Pugh v. WCAB and County of Los Angeles
Delores Pugh petitioned for review of a decision by the Workers Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) finding that her claim for benefits is barred by the one-year statute of limitations. Court hold that if an employer fails to post the notice of employees workers compensation rights required by Labor Code section 3550 and the employee is otherwise unaware of her rights, then the statute of limitations is tolled until the employee gains actual knowledge that she may be entitled to benefits.
