Minnesota Lawyers Helping Injured Workers

What Happens If You Aggravate An Old Injury at Work?

If an existing medical condition is aggravated or accelerated because of work activities, you are eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. For example, if you hurt your lower back in a car accident a decade ago and that injury has recently been aggravated because of lifting done as part of your current work duties, benefits are available. At Midwest Disability, our Minnesota lawyers will help you get all of the benefits you are entitled to.

Employers Take Employees As They Are

When your employer hired you, they took on the responsibility of keeping you safe. That responsibility is not mitigated by pre-existing injuries or health conditions. If you have lower back problems and they are made worse by your work duties, your employer is responsible. The only problem is that employers rarely want to accept responsibility. Together with their workers’ compensation insurance company, they will often try to avoid paying claims related to aggravation of a pre-existing injury.
