Bronx Workers' Compensation Lawyers
A pre-existing condition will not prevent you from getting workers' compensation benefits. However, it is possible that the workers' compensation insurance company may think otherwise. Your claim may be denied. With the assistance of an experienced attorney from the Robert A. Koenigsberg Law Offices, you can get the benefits you need.
Take Care When Filing Your Claim
The pre-existing condition may make matters more complex, but it should not prevent you from getting workers' compensation benefits. Whatever you do, it is important that you do not neglect to mention your pre-existing condition while filing your claim. If you do, the workers' compensation insurance company could come back later and not only cut off your benefits, but allege that you attempted to commit fraud. Needless to say, this will make matters even more difficult for you. We can help you file your claim the right way.
A Continuation or a New Injury?
Our attorneys have 20 years of experience helping injured workers. We know the steps insurance companies will take to try to avoid paying a claim. In cases involving pre-existing conditions, they will say that your new injury is simply a continuation of the old. Thankfully, with our experience and clear medical documentation, we will be able to show that it is indeed a new injury for which you are entitled benefits.
