Congress meant what it said when it limited recovery to one year from date of injury, and 'injury' does not mean 'disability.' 'Injury' is related to the period within which the claim must be filed, not to the onset of compensable disability.
How often courts cite the case defining “Injury”
Court decisions citing the opinion that defined “Injury” — 265 in all, by decade. Counts are citations to the defining case as a whole, not verified uses of the term. The dip in the most recent years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the latest years.
