Phillip Guinn appealed the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission's denial of his claim for Second Injury Fund benefits for hearing loss and tinnitus, which the Commission found time-barred. Guinn suffered hearing loss and tinnitus from industrial noise exposure at Solo Cup Company. The Commission concluded the statute of limitations began running on the date Guinn filed his claim against Solo Cup, or the date of last exposure. The appellate court reversed and remanded, holding that the statute of limitations for occupational diseases, including hearing loss and tinnitus, begins when the injury is reasonably discoverable and apparent, not necessarily the date of last exposure, and that the Commission misapplied the law.
