What is the longest workers compensation case?
341866
Well, you got this far with no other answers, so let me take a stab at it.\n\nIt could conceivably be 100 years someday.  But the longest case would be a person who was permanently injured on a job while quite young, possibly a child actor as an extreme, and who therefore had contact with the insurance carrier and/or its attorney for the rest of his life.  Because they would need to keep the case open, at least nominally, as long as he was alive in the case of a permanent disability.  A child actor in an old-people's home somewhere in the Hollywood hills has no doubt got the record.

the longest suspension bridge was the humber bridge and now its the akashi-kaikyo suspension bridge but the biggest coverd bridge is the Hartland Covered Bridge heres some more info:   The 1,282 foot Hartland Covered Bridge is the longest covered bridge in the world.  It was originally constructed by the Hartland Bridge Company, which was formed by citizens on both sides of the St. John River, and officially opened July 4, 1901.\n\n   The bridge was purchased by the government of New Brunswick in 1906.  Two spans of the bridge were taken out by river ice April 6, 1920, and the government made major repairs and covered the structure in 1922.\n\n   The side walkway was added to the bridge in 1945 and on June 23, 1980, the Hartland Covered Bridge was declared a National Historic Site and on September 15, 1999 it was declared a Provincial Historic Site.\n\n   The bid for $27,945.00 was unanimously accepted by the board of directors from Albert Brewer, of Woodstock.  In 1898, the Hon. H.R. Emmerson told the Board of trade delegation that a permanent bridge would cost between $70,000.00 and $80,000.00.  The bridge would be eight steel spans. Since the bridge was built out of cedar spruce and hard pine, and local businessmen were used, the costs came in at a much lower amount.\n\n   The original completion date was to be May 14, 1901, but as the day approached, an emergency forced the first person to cross the bridge twelve hours early.  At about 9:00pm on Monday the 13th of May, Dr. Estey responded to an urgent call to attend to a patient on the west side of the river. Dr. Estey approached the bridge and revealed to the workers, his circumstances. Workers then placed planks so he could drive across the bridge.\n \n\n \n   Repairs were done to the bridge in 1982-83 when a car struck a steel strain rod, causing the bridge to drop and break the main beam on the western most span.\n\n   The car received an estimated $400.00 damage, while the bill for repairing the bridge was $140,000.00. The bridge finally reopened for traffic, on February 10, 1983.\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \n   Yes...   You can drive across the Longest Covered Bridge in the World at Hartland, but there are certain vehicle restrictions which do apply.  The vehicle restrictions are as follows:\n\nMaximum Height Clearance:    13’ - 9”\n\nMaximum Vehicle Weight:    10 tonnes\n \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nWorld’s Longest Covered Bridge Milestones.\n \n1899\n\n“Hartland Bridge Company” was formed by a group of private citizens who were tired of waiting for the government to decide whether or not to build a bridge across the St. John River at Hartland.\n \n1901\n\nJuly 4, 1901 the bridge was officially opened with the following tolls charged:  three cents for pedestrians, six cents for a single horse and wagon, twelve cents for a double team. A strip of twenty tickets could be purchased for fifty cents.\n \n1906\n\nThe provincial government took over the ownership and maintenance of the bridge and removed the tolls.\n \n1920\n\nIn April of 1920 two spans of the bridge were swept away by the ice.\n \n1922\n\nThe bridge was covered and in the early years snow had to be hauled and placed on the floor so the sleds could easily travel on it in the winter.\n \n1924\n\nLights were installed on the bridge.\n \n1945\n\nSidewalk was added, which is a small bridge in itself.\n \n1980\n\nOn June 23, 1980 the bridge was declared a national historic site.\n \n1982\n\nSmall car ran into the west end of the bridge on the Somerville side and did extensive damage.  The bridge was closed for several months while repairs were done.\n \n1987\n\nOlympic torch was carried through the bridge as part of celebrations of the 1988 Winter Olympics held in Calgary.\n \n1995\n\nOn September 1, 1995, Canada Post Corporation launched a postage stamp honour

Depends on what the cause of action is.  Shortest is one year, longest is 10 years.  \nThe more common are:\n\nSuit for negligence or intentional tort:  one year.\nSuit for breach of oral contract: three years.\nSuit for breach of written contract: four years.\n\nIf the defendant is a government entity, generally the plaintiff has six months to file a claim with the entity and up to six months from actual or constructive denial of claim to file suit.

They will go to court in a law suit, and can take years.\n\nI had one in MO that took about 9 years and then the insurance company finally offered an ok settlement.\nIf not, it could have taken longer.

Unlike due process, there is no statute of limitations on appeals.  The reason is you are not on trial here, the lawyers are.

I feel for you.   I have handled multi-state claims, and claims for some of the tribes in the sovereign indian nations.  I know that all or most of their workers comp claims are handled this way  - - When a worker becomes injured, the claim is governed by the sovereign indian nation - period.  You have NO recourse or avenues via the State Workers Comp Board - probably this is WHY you are not able to find an attorney who will take your case.  From what I remember, your avenue of "appeal" is via the Tribal Elders or Tribal Counsel.  \nOn another note, when we opened the claims for those workers, we would apply "most" of the laws and rules in the state that had jurisdiction over the claims.  \n\nNOT sure HOW you were injured.  IF your injury was caused by negligence on the part of the place where you worked, you may be able to file a lawsuit - either by "tort" or "premises liability".   \nIF you decide to go that route, I would highly recommend retaining the services of a lawyer who SPECIALIZES in tort and liability claims. ALSO make sure that the attorney has a good working knowledge of workers comp.   But the PRIMARY qualification under THIS scenario would be tort & liability. \n\nI used to work with an attorney who worked on the reservation, but I lost touch with him.  \n\nIf you want to try your luck in an open Forum discussion, I noted that http://www.Prairielaw.com  is good & they have attorneys who may be able to help.  \nIf you want workers comp resources check out http://www.GettingWorkersComp.com \nThey have all kinds of stuff.  \nGood luck.    \n\np.s. - I posted a question about a "workers comp rally" could you please do me a favor & post a comment about what you would want at such a rally.  Thanks much.

As usual with legal-related questions on Yahoo! Answers, far too little information exists to answer the question adequately.  The length of time varies for the forum, and for the type of wrongful discharge.  Each state has its own statute of limitations for bringing discharge actions, as well as the federal government. Also, different limitations exist for discrimination suits, and for express or implied contract breaches.  Contact your local EEOC office if you'd like specific information, and be prepared to present the specifics of your situation.\n\nEDIT: Remember, not all wrongful discharge claims fall under the EEOC, so the timelines may differ from the ones presented in the EEOC's information.

You have 5 years to settle a claim.

it actually depends on the state you are in.  my personal advice would be to call a lawyer in that area.  This is much too serious of a matter to let a mistake cost him his rights to workmans comp.

In Pennsylvania, intentional torts are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 5524 \n\nHowever, I do not see you have a case.

I will give you a real world example.  I represented my father's construction company in a lawsuit.  He paid a subcontractor in full for work done on a project, but the subcontractor failed to pay for the concrete he used because of financial difficulties.  The concrete supplier filed a lien which my dad had to pay.\n\nI filed a lawsuit on his behalf.  The subcontractor filed an znswer to the lawsuit that admitted he owed my dad the money and needed more time to pay.  There was no factual dispute and the court granted a motion I filed called a motion for judgment on the pleadings.

I realize it's not the answer you want, but it takes as long as the insurance company wants it to.  They can drag it on forever if they want.\nRead the book or watch the movie John Grisham's "The Rainmaker"
