Description
Ray Hampton received a leg injury on April 15, 1961, in an accident arising out of and in the course of his employment with Empire Spring and Shock Service, Inc. Initially medical expenses were paid, but he lost no compensable time from work. Phlebitis developed in his leg from a deep-seated thrombus and, upon a petition to reopen his case, a referee of the Commission entered an order on May 24, 1963, awarding compensation for temporary total disability from May 25, 1962, through July 8, 1962, but finding that he had no permanent partial disability. No appeal was taken from this order. Hamptons condition worsened, but, in response to a letter of inquiry from Hamptons doctor dated April 10, 1968, the Commission replied that it no longer had jurisdiction to consider Hamptons claim because more than six years had expired since the accident. Hampton died on October 28, 1968, and his widow filed a Dependents Notice and Claim for Compensation on October 27, 1969, which, after a hearing, was denied by a referee on March 18, 1971. Upon review the Commission affirmed and adopted the referees order in its final award on October 19, 1971.
