Hattenburg v. Blanks

During the period from February 7 to 14, 1975, claimant-appellant Kenneth Hattenburg allegedly sustained an injury compensable under Idaho’s Workmen’s Compensation Law. On February 3, 1976, he filed with the Industrial Commission a form entitled “Application for Hearing” which requested a hearing and an award for his injury. At the hearing, held on August 23, 1976, respondents moved to dismiss this action on the ground that appellant had failed to file a claim for compensation within one year of the accident as required by I.C. § 72-701. This appeal is from the order granting that motion.
