As a result, you went to a chiropractor and a physical therapist and you felt that the situation was under control. Years later, you are sitting in an office filling out an application for a new job. You are asked a number of questions about your medical history. You forget to mention your back problems, you think it is no longer relevant, or you decide that you do not want your employer to know. You get the job. One day, while working, an accident occurs and you find out that your old back problem has been aggravated. You cannot work and need physical therapy, so you submit a claim for workers' compensation benefits. During the review process, your employer discovers that you have had problems with your back before. Your employer notices that you did not disclose this information on the pre-employment health questionnaire. Your employer tells you that you cannot get workers' compensation now because you lied at the time of hiring and did not disclose your pre-existing back injury.
