If an employee is retired can he/she pursue a workers compensation claim?
Yes. Many conditions, such as occupational diseases, may not appear until many years after the employee has left his/her employment. Although these types of occupational claims present unique challenges, a successful claim can often be pursued. It is important that you discuss the specifics of your possible toxic work exposures with your doctor in reference to your diagnosis.
