Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Celene Gogerty, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Ahlers and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Ahlers, J. (6 pages)
A workers’ compensation claimant appeals the district court’s ruling on judicial review of the workers’ compensation commissioner’s determination that his claim was barred for untimely notice, arguing the commissioner improperly applied the discovery rule. OPINION HOLDS: Because claimant did not provide his employer notice of his injury until almost a year after learning of his injury and that the injury was work-related, we affirm.
