that is true and not true. if you have the paper work saying that you have lifetime medical on the body part (ie knees, elbow) then when you see the doc does not matter. you have the ability to have the comp injury covered for life.
what you are referring to is where the injury has not done perm damage to the body part. once you are returned to work, it is assumed that the old damage has healed, and you should never have any more issues there again.
if that area is re-injured, you would start again with workers comp. each new injury is a new claim. after several times, then your atty would be able to make a case saying that the injury is not something that will heal, but instead is a more perm injury.
make sense?
but keep in mind, a workers comp claim is a single event that caused an injury. as the poster tried to claim earlier, pushing the clutch in over a period of time, that would not be a workers comp claim, as there was not a single action that caused the injury, but a series of actions.
