Taylor V. Soran Restaurant

This is an appeal from an Industrial Commission (Commission) decision denying the claim of Sara Taylor (Taylor) for worker's compensation after finding that she had not given the requisite sixty-day notice to her employer of her alleged injuries, as required by section 72-701 of the Idaho Code (I.C.). The Commission ruled that the lack of proper notice resulted in prejudice to Soran Restaurant, Inc. (Soran or employer) and that, therefore, Taylor's claim is barred. The Commission also concluded that Taylor had failed to meet her burden of proving that her alleged condition was caused by her work-related accidents.
