Re: worksmans comp
You didn't say how he reinjured himself. If this was unrelated to work, the employer is not going to be liable for any enhancement of the injury caused by the non-work fall. Of course if he had gone back to work and reinjured himself there, then the employer is responsible under workers' comp. Your husband needs to get a report from his doctor as to the relationship between his present condition and the job-related injury(ies).
If the employer is without coverage, there is a state fund that will cover the claim. He should consult with an experienced workers' comp attorney about all of this.
