Pre-Existing Conditions

Aggravation of Pre-Existing Conditions

Let Our Laurel Workers’ Comp Attorneys Handle Your Complex Case

Workers' compensation is a type of insurance that provides wage and medical benefits for employees who have been injured in work-related accidents. Since workers' compensation is a no-fault insurance, workers do not need to prove that their employer was negligent to receive their rightful benefits.

Most workers understand that they may receive benefits if they have been injured due to a sudden work-related accident or due to an injury sustained in the performance of their work duties.

What some workers do not understand is that they may also be entitled to benefits for the aggravation of a pre-existing condition, including:

Aggravation of a back injury
Aggravation of a knee or shoulder injury
Aggravation of a wrist injury
Aggravation of other injuries
Aggravation of a medical condition (e.g., asthma)

To help you understand your rights in a worker’s compensation claim, contact McGowan & Cecil, LLC at (301) 761-2007. We return calls promptly and provide “Platinum Concierge Service.”
