Workers’ comp cases can be reopened in some circumstances. If your case is in clincher you have given up your future rights. But if you didn’t clincher your case, you have a two year period after you have received your last payment of medical or money or salary money, salary replacement money, you have a right to reopen. You just have to show what’s called a change of circumstance to show your condition has gotten worse or that something has changed. If you have any questions about an old injury that still bothering you, or you haven’t gotten relief, I’d be glad to look over your papers and see if you have a claim that you can reopen. There is no reason to suffer because you got hurt at work and that time has as gone by since you were injured. If I can help you please call on me.
