In Georgia, if you aggravate a pre-existing condition on the job, you should be covered under workers' comp. For example, if you had back surgery 10 years ago and re-injure your back in a car accident, you should have a valid workers' comp claim. Unfortunately, many work comp adjusters attempt to use pre-existing conditions as an excuse to deny a work injury claim. If that happens, you will likely need to proceed to court to prove that you aggravated the pre-existing condition on the job. Call Atlanta work injury attorney Brian H. Sumrall if you would like to discuss an aggravation of your pre-existing condition. You can reach Mr. Sumrall at (404)924-4595 or visit
