Text: 2 I.C. 22-3-3-3 (1971) provides in part: LIMITATION FOR FILING CLAIM. CLAIM.--The right to compensation under this act shall be forever barred unless within two years after the occurrence of the accident, or if death results therefrom, within two years after such death, a claim for compensation thereunder shall be filed with the industrial board ... 3 I.C. 22-3-2-6 (Supp.1985) provides: RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF EMPLOYEE EXCLUSIVE.--The rights and remedies granted to an employee subject to I.C. 22-3-2 through I.C. 22-3-6 on account of personal injury or death by accident shall exclude all other rights and remedies of such employee, his personal representatives, dependents or next of kin, at common law or otherwise, on account of such injury or death, except for remedies available under I.C. 16-7-3.6. 4 The Baker decision, which is relied on by Wolfe, is not inconsistent with the Supreme Court's holding in Gayheart. Baker supports this Court's ruling that a plaintiff can maintain a separate action for damages in a court of law only where he is not seeking benefits for personal injury or death on the job. 428 N.E.2d 1347
