Most likely no. If you are still working for the same employer, then you have no problem. Many injuries are a combination of work-related and non-work-related causes and it has to be determined by a QME/AME (Qualified Medical Examiner). Feel free to call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.

I'm confused by your dates. Your injury was last September? When was the surgery? You are probably not too late. But you need to file a workers' compensation claim as soon as possible. I strongly encourage you to make an appointment to speak with an attorney to determine your rights.
