Description
Appellant, William Timmeny, appeals an order denying his claim for temporary and/or permanent disability benefits, medical care, costs, and attorneys fees, based upon the bar of the two-year statute of limitations found in Section 440.19(1)(a), Florida Statutes (1985). We conclude that because the employer/carrier (E/C) did not afford adequate notice to the claimant of his possible entitlement to disability benefits within the limitation period, thereby prejudicing claimant, the E/C is estopped from asserting the statute of limitations defense until the time that claimant was first notified, within a reasonable degree of medical probability, that his condition was compensable. We therefore reverse and remand the case for further proceedings.
