Section 5412) , the injured worker can report the injury when he knew or should have known the disability was industrially caused. This means when the employee should have reasonably known that his\/her injury was caused by work. This could be one year after they stopped working or even one year after the initial pains began, as long as the employee did not know they were disabled at the time.<\/p>\n<p>For estoppel, if the employer failed to give the employee proper notices or they had notice of the injury and so lack of filing within one year did not harm them, they are estopped, or prevented, from denying your claim due to the fact it was filed more than a year after the injury occurred.
