Aggravation Of A Pre-Existing Condition
Insurance companies and company representatives often try to deny that they are accountable for the back or neck injuries of an employee who has been injured in the past. For example, if you suffer from minor arthritis that would normally not affect your work, and your work conditions worsen that arthritis, your employers may owe you compensation. If you are over the age of 20 and have been asked to take an X-ray, chances are you will show some degeneration. This is a natural part of aging. Insurance companies may argue that natural degeneration is a pre-existing condition and that you do not have a compensable injury. Unfortunately, they do not have your best interests in mind. If you have talked to a company representative who stated that your pre-existing back or neck injury would not be covered, talk to our attorneys today. We will discuss your rights and fight for the compensation you deserve.
