What If I Have a Pre-Existing Condition?

Experienced Workers' Compensation Attorneys

A previous injury, or a pre-existing condition, does not necessarily disqualify you from filing a claim for workers' compensation benefits. Work comp benefits are still available for work injuries that aggravate pre-existing conditions. Unfortunately, employers and insurance adjusters may not always explain these rights and may try to limit the amount of benefits you are eligible to receive.
