One issue is that you assume that anyone reading this question knows what DVT and PT sand for. Remember, you are asking attorneys not physicians. Second, this is a 2005 injury and the 5 year statute of limitations per labor code section 5410 is past. If you have not filed an application by now, you may find yourself in a bind. Therefore, I suggest that you seek representation right away,.

There may be exceptions to the 5-year statute limitation so you really need to consult an attorney about your case. Feel free to call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.
