This case concerns Keenan McCardell's workers' compensation claim for injuries sustained as a professional football player from January 2007 to January 2008. The primary issue on reconsideration was whether the claim was barred by the statute of limitations. The Board affirmed the original award, finding that McCardell did not sustain a disabling injury until he sought line-of-duty benefits in July 2009, which was less than a year before filing his workers' compensation claim. Therefore, the claim was deemed timely filed.
