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.
