ANNOTATION
The subsequent injury fund is liable for death benefits claimed in accordance with the version of § 8-41-304(2) in effect when the occupational diseases suffered by decedents occurred. Subsequent Injury Fund v. King, 961 P.2d 575 (Colo. App. 1998).
An occupational disease or disability "occurs" on the onset of disability, rather than upon the date of diagnosis. Union Carbide Corp. v. Indus. Claim Appeals Office, 128 P.3d 319 (Colo. App. 2005).
