a second injury fund functions when a worker with an pre-existing non-industrial disability has an on-the-job injury and the combined disability of the two renders the worker permanently and totally disabled.
a more easily understood example would be worker that was blind in one eye loses the sight of the other eye in work injury. the worker gets total blindness benefits while the employer is charged only for the loss of one eye. the difference is made up by the second injury fund.

if you are dissatisfied with your atty, talk to a few others before deciding to switch.
