Help After Substantial Aggravation Of A Pre-Existing Condition

Workers’ compensation provides wage and medical benefits for people who have suffered a work-related injury or illness. One question that commonly arises among injured workers is whether workers’ compensation provides benefits for the aggravation of a pre-existing condition.

What happens if you aggravate a pre-existing injury such as a knee, shoulder or back injury? What if a medical condition such as asthma or arthritis is aggravated as a result of your work conditions? Are you entitled to benefits?

In Ohio, the answer depends on the severity of the aggravation. Workers are entitled to benefits for a substantial aggravation of a pre-existing injury. Cases involving pre-existing conditions are complex, so it is important that you retain an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer if you think you have a basis for such a claim.
