Kenneth Kail vs. Central Freight Lines, Ace American Insurance Company, ESIS

This case involves a workers' compensation claim for hearing loss by an applicant against Central Freight Lines. The defendant sought to deny the claim based on the statute of limitations and a post-termination defense, arguing the applicant knew of his industrial injury earlier. However, the applicant credibly testified he was unaware his hearing loss was work-related until a 2015 hearing test. Based on this, the Board adopted the WCJ's findings and denied reconsideration, finding the claim timely filed after the applicant's realization of the industrial causation.
