Case Notes
Burden of Proof.
Where claimant testified that he never saw the required form posted anywhere on the employer's premises, it was incumbent on the employer to offer evidence to show that the required notice had been posted, and in the absence of such evidence employer was estopped from asserting the statute of limitations. Rider v. Julian Martin, Inc., 31 Ark. App. 144, 789 S.W.2d 743 (1990).
Workers' compensation claim was not time-barred even though it was filed more than two years after the date of the injury where the employer had told the employee he did not have workers' compensation insurance, the employer had actual notice of the injury on the date of the injury, and the employer's own testimony showed that he failed to post notice that he had subsequently obtained workers' compensation insurance or notify the employee of the same after the injury. Graves v. Hopper, 2018 Ark. App. 193, 547 S.W.3d 448 (2018).
