Workers' Compensation and Aggravation of Conditions and Injuries
Many claimants have pre-existing conditions, and subsequently suffer injury to the same area. In Pennsylvania, the aggravation of a pre-existing condition is treated the same as a new injury in the eyes of the law. At the Lancaster County firm of Vanasse Law LLC, we have helped many injured workers obtain benefits after exacerbating previous injuries or disabilities, even if those pre-existing conditions were not job related. Attorney Mike Vanasse has more than 20 years of experience in the area of workers' compensation and he can help you protect your rights and file your claim with confidence.
Pre-Existing Conditions and Injuries at Work
Frequently, pre-existing conditions can be exacerbated at work, such as:
- Arthritis and repetitive stress injuries
- Back pain
- Knee, leg and ankle injuries
- Respiratory illnesses
- Chronic conditions
- Spinal cord injuries
It is important to understand how the law applies to your specific circumstances.
