I am not sure what you mean by "come after me." Also, who is coming after you? What was your permanent disability rating? What body parts did you injure? Did an attorney represent you?
I strongly encourage you to consult with a workers' compensation attorney as soon as possible. To find one in your area go to www.caaa.org. There is no charge for consultations.

To reduce the WC award, the carrier would have to petition the WCAB for a hearing to seek such reduction. But that petition must be filed within 240 weeks of the date of injury. So you should be safe.
