In Arizona, Worsening Symptoms Could Reopen Your Workers' Comp Case
Those seriously injured on the job in Arizona may be awarded "supportive care" — an exercise of your right to return to your physician several times a year to receive medications or other minor treatments for flare-ups of the residual injury. Your claim will remain closed, but your treatment is authorized.
However, if your medical condition is ever found to present a new, additional or previously undiscovered problem from the time the claim was closed, your injury claim may be reopened for more medical care to treat that condition.
This necessary reopening of your case begins the process for payment of medical and disability benefits all over again.
If the effects of a past workplace injury have returned with a vengeance, limiting your ability to work to your full potential, our experienced Snow & Carpio, PLC, law firm can pursue a reopening of your case, so you can receive the benefits you need.
Chad Snow and Xavier Alexander Carpio are skilled workplace injury attorneys who care about you. They recognize your need to continue providing for your family. They bring their legal knowledge and years of experience to the job of protecting your rights.

Suffering a Persisting Injury or Deteriorating Medical Condition? Snow & Carpio Attorneys Can Help

As with your original injury, you are encouraged to report its recurrence as soon as possible. You should also be examined by a doctor who will seek proof of the returned pain or limitations you are experiencing.
