A: You would need to file a Petition to Reinstate or a Claim Petition to address the ongoing loss of earnings and then present fact and medical evidence to the judge to prove your entitlement to wage loss. Unless you are experienced at examining and cross-examining fact and medical witnesses, your best bet would be to contact an attorney to review and pursue your claim.
