Testimonials

  • I don’t have any medical bills, I’m receiving revenue for my pain and suffering, and I’m very appreciative. I am truly satisfied with the results of my case.
  • "The best part about having James Murphy as my workers' compensationlawyer is that I have someone to speak for me..."
  • The initial phone call made me feel as though they really cared. They made us feel like a number, and Murphy & Associates didn't. My wife and I have never gone through something like this before and accidents can be devastating to a family because of loss of income, pain and suffering.
  • Murphy & Associates made my experience fast and easy, and got the job done.
  • Murphy & Associates Car Accident Law firm is professional, efficient, and a pleasant experience doing business with.
  • I was involved in a rear-end collision while stopped at a red light. Mr. Murphy and his staff guided me through this long process from obtaining medical treatment to settling with the other party's insurance company.

What if I have an old injury that gets aggravated on the job?

 

A:

Pre-existing conditions or old injuries do not stop your right to workers’ compensation benefits. However, the new injury or the aggravation from repetitive type work must be the cause for the current disability. In other words, your pre-existing medical problem would have to have been aggravated by your current job duties. Sometimes your job duties may escalate your pre-existing condition and or create a superadded condition.

Below are some types of pre-existing conditions that we have seen that were aggravated and related to a work activity:

 *Shoulder injuries: Common Cause - Often from repetitive type work
 *Knee injuries: Common Cause - Falls, pushing and pulling heavy cargo
 *Back/neck injures: Common Cause - Lifting, pushing / pulling, and repetitive work

If you have a pre-existing medical condition and you have recently suffered an aggravation due to your job duties at work you should seek the advise of an experienced workers’ compensation attorney. Contact Murphy & Associates, LLC for a FREE consultation (770) 577-3020.
