Pre-existing conditions in work injury cases

Work injuries can happen in variety of ways. Because our bodies change through the natural process of aging, employers and their insurance companies rely on test results showing degeneration (age-related changes) to argue that your injury is Pre-Existing. The can use age-related changes seen on X-rays or MRIs to argue that any work injury you are claiming is really a result of natural processes and you do not have a true new (acute) injury.

First of all, you should never believe a physician who is telling you that all your complaints of pain are related to pre-existing conditions. If he tells you that, he’s not listening to you and is not trying to treat your new symptoms. Second, injuries are complicated, and they should not be dismissed as pre-existing so easily by company doctors. If you were working without pain and then your have an incident that causes you pain and discomfort you’ve never felt before, you need to determine if there are any injuries that caused by that incident. That’s where a Texas Work Injury lawyer can help.
