Legal Question in Workers Comp in Pennsylvania
Pa Worker Comp
I was on worker comp in Pa for 16 years, I settled the money part almost 4 years ago for peanuts, but i recently found out that the medical part of my worker comp is still open due to the fact that a work related neck injury failed in december of 07, where I had to have a 500,000 dollar 8 hr cervical surgery to save my life again. Now worker comp is responsible for this recent surgery could this restart my weekly checks again???

Re: Pa Worker Comp
This is an interesting question. My view is that it would be a new work related injury and that you should be entitled to recover wage loss. I think you have a fight on your hands, though.
