Understanding Pre-Existing Injuries in Workers’ Comp

Pre-existing conditions can complicate a claim. In this episode, Bilal shares examples of how the CA workers' comp system deals with cases where an injured worker had a prior injury or condition workcomptalk.net . They explain that sometimes a work injury "overlaps" with an old injury—and if doctors decide the work accident didn't actually make things worse, the case could even be dismissed. Carmen and Bilal highly recommend getting legal advice if you have a pre-existing injury and then get hurt at work workcomptalk.net workcomptalk.net .
