Summary

Applicant Akweley Karene Beecham, a custodian for UC Davis, sustained an industrial injury to her right eye on June 3, 2017. The WCJ found AOE/COE but determined the claim was barred by the statute of limitations. Applicant sought reconsideration, arguing the limitations period was extended by furnishing of benefits, tolled by defendant's failure to provide notice of her rights, and waived by defendant's conduct. The Board noted that defendant appeared to accept injury to the eye in its July 21, 2020 Answer and participated in the panel QME process, which may implicate waiver principles. The Board granted reconsideration and deferred a final decision pending further review of the merits and possible development of the record.
