Re: the statue of limitation on back injury

It is hard to know exactly what the insurer is talking about here and more facts are needed to figure this out. The statute of limitations would pertain to the filing of a claim initially or filing to reopen a claim. The fact that they have been paying for the medicine indicates that a claim was filed. You really should go to a worker's compensation attorney soon to spell out all the facts and find out what your rights are.
