I have an old work injury, and I am getting worse. Can I reopen my claim?

Re-opening a closed workers' comp claimYou may be able to reopen your claim, but you have to satisfy several requirements. In Colorado, there are also time limits on reopening a claim, and some claims are just too old to reopen.

Usually, claims are reopened because you get worse and need more treatment. You must prove that your worsened condition is still related to the original injury. Insurance companies hate to reopen claims, and almost never do it without a fight.
