The doctor can attribute your new injury to your old injury. However, a good workers comp lawyer would know how to object. If you already have an attorney, ask if he objected to the report. If you're not represented, I will be glad to give you a free consultation. Contact me at 1.877.505.INJURY. You can also learn about my services at www.lupofflaw.com.
