Sweeney v. Kentucky State Highway Department

Clay, Commissioner

Affirming.

While employed by appellee, one William P. Moore was drowned. Appellant, his grandmother, sought workmen’s compensation as a dependent. The Board sustained appellee’s plea of limitations, and also determined that appellant had failed to prove her dependency. The Russell Circuit Court sustained the order of the Board.

We think the first ground sufficient to dispose of this controversy. The grandson met his death on June 10, 1946. Claim for compensation was not filed until March 30, 1948. The limitation period is one year under KRS 342.270.
