If you are injured in a Worker's Comp situation and your accident exacerbates the problem, there will be an examination by an IME or Independent Medical Exam. This will be ordered by both the Worker's Comp insurance company AND the auto insurance companies involved. This could be very tricky if it concerns a back injury because back injuries are hard to assess and it's hard to pinpoint a "blame" for the injury. If you hurt your back "on the job" and the doctors find herniated disks, it is entirely possible that those herniated disks were there before the "accident". What every you were doing at the time could have only cause those herniated disks to cause you a problem. The Worker's Comp board has to determine whether or not if was an "occupational disease". A disease caused by your occupation.
