Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

I was injured in 2000 settled with the ins. co. Went back to work with a different co. and three years later fell and hurt my back again this time I had surgery. I was wondering if the ins. co. Can deny my claim even though they didn't within the 90 day term? They are denying a 2nd MRI due to not talking with my dr. On the phone and saying he hasn't given enough support to require one. I have been up front about the previous injury and the dr. said it wasn't related to the old one

But if they have accepted the claim thus far and paid for the first MRI then they will likely accept the case. They will ask a Dr. if any part of your eventually permanent disability is from the prior accident and try to apportion that part out.
