Legal Question in Workers Comp in Texas

I had an injury 11 years ago which required surgery to my right knee. I have not re-injured the knee however I am have a great deal of pain, swelling and difficulty walking. Can I re-open an old worker's comp claim?

You should not give a statement, give access to your medical information or sign any insurance company forms without speaking to a lawyer.

The insurance company is not your friend and is not concerned with your injuries and pain.

Their goal is to make $ by paying as little as possible on the claim. They will frustrate by delaying payment, giving you a low offer, or denying claim hoping you will get mad and go away.

I should know because I worked as a lawyer for insurance companies for 10 years.
