Is your employer’s insurance company giving you a hard time about your injury at work due to a pre-existing condition? Unfortunately, this is a pretty common problem that often requires seeking legal help from an experienced workers’ compensation attorney. Depending on which state you live or work, the law specifies that most injuries, pre-existing or not, are covered under workers comp.
However, these cases can indeed become very detailed and complicated in a hurry, making it necessary to seek advice from an attorney.
Some key questions you can ask to see if you have case include:
- Did your incident at work cause your condition to worsen?
- Has the pain shifted to various other parts of your body?
- Did the injury occur while abiding by the company’s safety policies?
- Can you prove how the injury happened and where?
