When I return to work... if I ever do

When I return to work... if I ever do
State: Michigan

My question is.... when and if I do return to a new job (no longer work for company where I was injured under WC), and find I'm unable to carry out duties for continuing problems from past injury, what insurance company do you refer to? Would it be the insurance of the new employer, or the insurance company in which the first injury occurred?
Been off work for two years now and 6 surgeries later. Have a long recovery to go and I'm pondering a lot of questions in my mind in the mean time!

Thank you for any assistance.

The way I see it, It would be the original IC. They are responsible to repair you. Not the new IC.

Just my thoughts.
8-05, Micro laminectomy/disectomy. 10-05 lumbar fusion L5-S1. 2-07 exploritory surgery. 12-07 medical implant, Spinal Cord Stimulator. now receiving SSDI. Jesus died for our sins. Soilders died for our freedom.

workers comp is not health insurance. it protects the employer from your claim.
new injury = new claim.
if the doctors believe the problems are caused by a prior comp injury or a non-industrial condition then it would not be a new claim.
