If you have been involved in a work accident in Florida you can receive benefits for your injuries in Palm Beach County, which mainly include medical bills and lost wage compensation through worker’s compensation.  In fact almost all employers in Florida State are required to carry worker’s compensation insurance, which covers on the job injuries regardless of who is at fault.

However what if you had a pre-existing injury that got worse or became more aggravated from your job duties or work-related accident in Palm Beach? Would you still be covered to receive benefits through worker’s compensation?

It is important to contact an experienced worker’s comp lawyer, like Advocates USA West Palm Beach, if you had a pre-existing condition that worsened from your work-related injuries.  Work accident claims with pre-existing conditions are very complex and difficult so it is important to seek legal advice immediately. The large insurance companies often deny claims such as these because it is hard to prove work or a work injury that aggravated or worsened your pre-existing condition.

Often times you will need to be evaluated by a medical professional to verify your condition became worse due to your work condition or work injury and there after you will most likely be rewarded compensation for your condition worsening.

Work accidents can put you into a challenging situation mentally, physically and financially.  If you were injured while working, sometimes the work accident in West Palm Beach might be so catastrophic that you may not be able to return to work.  How will you be able to financial support your family or pay for your medical expenses?  These fears and questions may arise out of injuries sustained in your workplace accident.

Our work accident lawyers at Advocates USA understands how frightening and angering situations like this can be especially if your worker’s compensation claim is being denied or you are offered very little compensation which won’t even cover your future medical bills.  Your personal injury work place lawyers are here to help make your situation financial right and fight for the compensation you deserve..

If someone else was responsible for your work accident that worsened your pre-existing condition it is important to place the burden on someone else. After conducting a thorough investigation we will determine if another party can be held responsible for your injuries.  Advocates USA, personal injury lawyers, are experienced in worker’s compensation claims, but additionally we are skilled in handling personal injury liability claims and we will hold the negligent party accountable for their careless actions that resulted in a work accident that contributed to worsening your pre-existing condition.  We may also be able to file a personal injury claim against the defendant.

Your work accident lawyers at Advocates USA in Palm Beach will fight to get you the most compensation possible without being denied.  Often times worker’s compensation insurance companies will delay or deny in hopes for the employee to go away.  Our job as experienced work accident lawyers in Palm Beach County is to prove and go up against the bully insurance companies to get the compensation you deserve and on the road to recovery.
