Does Workers’ Comp Apply If I Had A Pre-Existing Condition?

Filing a workers’ comp claim and recovering fair compensation is almost never easy. Insurance companies and employers are motivated to thwart responsibility for your injuries or undervalue the true extent of what you have suffered.

This is especially true when you have a pre-existing condition that was exacerbated by your job. Insurance companies will likely push back on your claim by saying the injury was already a problem before you started work or it was caused by your activities outside of work.

Work With Someone Who Will Push Back

Attorney David H. Bailly has substantial experience in a wide range of workers’ compensation issues and knows firsthand the tactics used by insurance companies to rob workers of the benefits they deserve. If you have been given the runaround about your claim, don’t give up. There are options and we can help.

Based in Eden Prairie, he handles cases throughout Minneapolis, Hennepin County and the entire state of Minnesota, as well as those from western Wisconsin. Contact our firm today to get the support and results you need.

Even With A Prior Condition, You May Be Able To Collect Compensation

Regardless of your own physical health or condition, a workplace injury is a workplace injury. Having a herniated disk prior to getting a job does not change the fact that the injury was made worse by the bending and stooping you were required to do at work. Even if you had a hurt shoulder before going to work, repetitive stress at work could be to blame for its increased severity.

Get Help Managing Your Pre-Existing Condition

We can help you understand your rights and options and then take action. Schedule a free case assessment with an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer, and start on the path to recovery.
