A physician will have to determine when your TD ends for the first accident or you could have gone back to work; if you still are off work, then yo wuldnot get WC benefits but you might be able to apply for state disability. Likewise for PD a determination will have to be made as to which injury caused what disability. If the other drive was at fault in the second accident, the defendant will argue that most if not all of the problems are from the first accident.
