Q: I have a back injury nerve damage and it’s been 2years can sue work mans comp
I got off tractor and thru a gate at the arena where i worked 13 years i had a spinal fusion in Arlington
A:
This is something that an Arkansas attorney should advise you on, but your post remains open for a week. I'm sorry for your injury. If you had a spinal fusion surgery, that's a big ticket item, suggesting that there might have been a WC claim open at one time. A private insurer is not going to roll over and pick up the tab on something like that without exploring applicable WC coverage. The best thing for you to do would be to reach out to Arkansas workers' comp attorneys to ask if they might be able to offer you a quick fee consult - many WC attorneys do. Unless there was some kind of third-party claim (where you were injured by something outside the control of your employer), you probably don't need a personal injury attorney. With a few quick questions, an experienced WC attorney should be able to sort your matter out and advise whether you have options that are still timely and what kind of attorney you need - workers' comp or personal injury, if applicable. Good luck

I'm sorry... I meant to write, "a quick FREE consult," and apparently I failed to double check my spelling. I apologize for any confusion that might have created. Good luck
