Show Low, AZ asked in Workers' Compensation for Arizona

Q: Injured in 2011. For a year went to their Drs but they couldn't pin point injury. Cut me off but worse now, can i reopen

The injury has progressed to almost no ability to use arm. Never had final settlement or got arm fixed. Was cut off by case mgr, daughter in serious car accident out of state, had permission to leave for 3 weeks and was sent a 20 day notice same day got permission and left. Cut off and refused to reinstate. This is the same case mgr who at Xmas delayed check a week, was "mistakenly bumped" from her "payroll list" and had to wait til she returned from her holiday vacation.

A: I would have to review your medical records with you, but the legal answer is that IF you have a doctor who can associate your current condition with the original injury, you have a right to petition to reopen your case. I meet with potential clients at no charge, and it will be better for us to be able to see what your options are, realistically. Please call 602-687-9211 pretty much any time tomorrow. Thank you
