DIVISION 4. WORKERS' COMPENSATION AND INSURANCE [3200 - 6002]
CHAPTER 2. Limitations of Proceedings
Section 5410
Nothing in this chapter shall bar the right of any injured worker to institute proceedings for the collection of compensation, including vocational rehabilitation services, within five years after the date of the injury upon the ground that the original injury has caused new and further disability or that the provision of vocational rehabilitation services has become feasible because the employee s medical condition has improved or because of other factors not capable of determination at the time the employer s liability for vocational rehabilitation services otherwise terminated. The jurisdiction of the appeals board in these cases shall be a continuing jurisdiction within this period. This section does not extend the limitation provided in Section 5407.
(Amended by Stats. 1989, Ch. 892, Sec. 49.)
