SECONDARY INJURIES DURING A WORKER’S COMPENSATION CLAIM

Posted by: Judy Pippin

Topic: Worker's Compensation

If you are currently receiving medical treatment for a work-related injury and you experience a subsequent injury, you need to report the second injury to your employer as soon as possible. If the second injury happened at work, then your employer may open a totally new worker's compensation case. However, if the second injury did not happen at work, but you think it may have happened because of the work injury--you may still be covered under worker's compensation.  If you would like more information on subsequent injuries, please contact the attorneys at Wagner Reese and Crossen.
