We Don’t Let Insurance Companies Deny or Underpay Workers’ Comp Claims for Pre-Existing Conditions
Your Athens workers’ compensation attorney will be responsible for every detail of your claim. We often encounter insurance companies that:
- Argue our client’s pre-existing injuries do not entitle them to compensation.
- Undervalue the settlement our client is entitled to receive.

- Resist paying a fair settlement by other means.

- Gather all relevant medical records that establish you have a pre-existing injury.
- Secure more recent medical records and compare them to older records (which will show that you have aggravated the injury).
- Prove the aggravation of your injury happened due to work-related duties.
- Document the financial losses covered by workers’ compensation insurance.
- Negotiate a settlement with your employer’s workers comp insurance provider.
- Handle other claim-related duties for you.
