        "description": "**No, but act fast—Utah requires workers' comp claims within 3 years of accident or 1 year of disability knowledge, Idaho 1 year.** Delays risk denial for late notice.[5] Key factors: Employer must be notified within 180/120 days; gather retroactive medical evidence for delayed symptoms like chronic pain.[3] Missed deadlines bar benefits. File immediately with attorney help to meet statutes and counter insurer defenses. Prompt action secures medical, wage loss, and impairment awards."
