What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA.
I fell off a roof 30 years ago and broke my pelvis and my back. The broken back was missed back then and wasn't discovered until a second fall in 1998 in which a full body exray was done. I have always had back pain since the original accident but never knew why. I just sucked it up and keep working. Now as I get older these injuries are taking there toll on me to the point I have difficulty doing my work. Can a old claim be reopened to recieve physical theraphy or disability
