You have pre-existing condition and you have beeen injured on the job what should you do next?

An individual who suffers an aggravation of a pre-existing condition may receive Workers’ Compensation benefits, if work caused the pre-existing condition to worsen.

 

NOTE:

It is common for unscrupulous employers to deny work related injuries by telling the employee that the condition was actually a pre-existing condition and therefore, cannot be paid under Workers’ Compensation. This is untrue A pre-existing injury can be paid under Workers’ Compensation if the injury significantly worsens due to events at work.
