This section applies if—

less than 6 months before the end of the general limitation period, an insurer gives a worker a notice of assessment for an injury; or

before the end of the general limitation period—

A proceeding for damages for the injury may be brought—

within 6 months after the insurer gives the notice of assessment for the injury; or

if, before the end of the period mentioned in paragraph (a), the worker advises the insurer that the worker does not agree with the DPI stated in the notice of assessment for the injury—within 6 months after a tribunal decides the DPI.
