Section 5402 Of Chapter 2. Limitations Of Proceedings From California Labor Code >> Division 4. >> Part 4. >> Chapter 2.
5402
. (a) Knowledge of an injury, obtained from any source, on the
part of an employer, his or her managing agent, superintendent,
foreman, or other person in authority, or knowledge of the assertion
of a claim of injury sufficient to afford opportunity to the employer
to make an investigation into the facts, is equivalent to service
under Section 5400.
(b) If liability is not rejected within 90 days after the date the
claim form is filed under Section 5401, the injury shall be presumed
compensable under this division. The presumption of this subdivision
is rebuttable only by evidence discovered subsequent to the 90-day
period.
(c) Within one working day after an employee files a claim form
under Section 5401, the employer shall authorize the provision of all
treatment, consistent with Section 5307.27, for the alleged injury
and shall continue to provide the treatment until the date that
liability for the claim is accepted or rejected. Until the date the
claim is accepted or rejected, liability for medical treatment shall
be limited to ten thousand dollars ($10,000).
(d) Treatment provided under subdivision (c) shall not give rise
to a presumption of liability on the part of the employer.
