Description
THIS is a workmens compensation case. Plaintiff in error, Weidensaul, hereinafter referred to as the claimant, was seriously injured November 18, 1938, while delivering papers for The Denver Publishing Company (the Rocky Mountain News), employer and one of the defendants in error. The injury consisted principally of a fracture of the femur of the right leg, and as a result of it claimant remained in the hospital until September, 1939. He did not file his claim for compensation until about November, 1939, almost a year after the accident. The referee found that the claim was barred by the six months statute of limitations (35 C.S.A., chapter 97, section 363, C.L., ? 4458), which finding was affirmed by the commission, as well as by the trial court to which the matter was referred in due course. The Compensation Fund is named as a defendant in error by virtue of its status as insurance carrier. Counsel agree that the only question involved was whether the claim was barred by the six months statute of limitations.
