Outcome
The North Dakota Supreme Court reversed the Workers Compensation Bureau's decision dismissing Klein's claim as untimely filed. The court remanded the case for appropriate action, finding that Klein did not know or should not have known his knee injuries were work-related until his treating physician informed him in April 1999.
