The Court of Appeals of Mississippi in Sandra Thompson v. Boyd Biloxi LLC reversed and remanded the commission’s dismissal of Ms. Thompson’s claim against Boyd Biloxi, where she worked as a casino dealer and supervisor. Ms. Thompson filed a petition to controvert in July 2024, alleging that repetitive movements from dealing cards and spinning roulette caused injuries to her right shoulder and upper extremity. The commission found the claim barred by the two-year statute of limitations, concluding she knew by July 2021 that her work aggravated her shoulder pain. The appeals court disagreed, finding that the compensable nature of her injury was not reasonably apparent until a 2024 MRI revealed a labral tear and possible biceps tendon tearing. A doctor later linked the damage to her dealer duties, and another physician recommended surgery, the ruling states. The court said prior treatment for shoulder impingement with anti-inflammatory medication and cortisone injections did not trigger the statute of limitations because a progressive injury claim does not accrue until the disabling, compensable character of the injury becomes reasonably apparent.
