In Newton v. WCAB (1993) [17 Cal. App. 4th 147, 21 Cal. Rptr. 2d 146] 58
CCC 395
the Court of Appeal held that a compensable consequence psychiatric
injury is not barred by the five year statute of limitations because it is a
new injury for statute of limitations purposes. The Court of Appeal held
that it is the date of the applicant's new psychiatric injury that determines
the timeliness of an alleged claim for statute of limitations purposes.
