1 Answer from Attorneys
You had until 5 years post-injury to prove additional body parts were involved.
In short, too much time has passed to add on a body part now.
YOU HAD the responsibility to check to see all the body parts affected were listed on the claim form and the application...if you failed to be certain every body part impacted was covered within the first 5 years, you surrendered your rights to add more body parts later.
