Pennsylvania Arthritis Job Injury Attorneys
Have you received a workers' compensation benefit denial due to a preexisting condition such as preexisting arthritis or degenerative disc disease? Don't give up. Most workers' compensation cases involving a preexisting condition are initially denied. However, aggravation of preexisting arthritis or other preexisting condition in a work-related accident is considered a new injury under the law. Because it can be challenging to obtain fair benefits in these situations, it is important to consult with an experienced workers' compensation lawyer who can aggressively assert your rights.
If you have aggravated your preexisting arthritis in a work-related accident, our Philadelphia preexisting arthritis injury attorneys can help. E-mail our law firm or call 1.866.443.1505 to arrange a consultation at any of our seven office locations throughout Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, Reading and Harrisburg Arthritic Work Injuries Attorneys
At Krasno, Krasno & Onwudinjo, we have been helping injured workers in Pennsylvania since our law firm was founded in 1936. Our attorneys understand the factors that must be demonstrated in complex work injury cases and have the experience and diligence to provide effective assistance to clients in cases involving preexisting arthritic conditions that are aggravated while working.
In preparing your workers' compensation appeal, our attorneys work closely with you and with your medical professionals to identify factors including:
- Has your arthritic condition worsened due to a work injury?
- Has there been an anatomical change in your condition due to your work conditions?
- Has an asymptomatic injury or condition been stimulated due to a work injury, resulting in an expansion of symptoms?
Many people suffer from arthritis or other medical conditions without ever knowing due to the lack of symptoms. People who work a lot with their hands or feet, people who perform repetitive heavy lifting or people who perform other demanding work can sustain a work injury that aggravates a preexisting injury or arthritis and causes symptoms to emerge. Workers in these situations may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits.
