3499 An employee who knew of her injury before her employer did and who was transferred to a different work environment before the employer knew of the relationship between plaintiff's injury and the former work environment was unable to show that the employer concealed the fact of the employee's injury and its relationship to employment, and so tort liability could not be imposed on the employer under the fraudulent concealment exception to the rule of worker's compensation exclusivity.CitationJENSEN v AMGEN (Moldy Building) 105 CA4 1322 [See: LabC 3602; JohnsManville v Superior Court 27 C3 465; Hughes Aircraft v Superior Court 44 CA4 1790, T/AT 6/96; Ashdown v Ameron 83 CA4 868, T/AT 10/00]
