Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

possible workers comp

i have been having neck problems for about 4 years. i went to dr and told them that i did not think it was work related. but after looking over drs reports lo and behold the problem did begin about the time i started this job. i guess i spoke to soon about not being job related but it actually probably is. is it to late to try and claim workers comp on this problem now that i have said that i dont think it was? i work for the state of va.

What you may think regarding the source of this problem is far less important than what a doctor thinks who has had the opportunity to examine and evaluate this injury.
