The Aggravation Of Preexisting Conditions
One of the most common reasons workers’ compensation claims get denied is because the insurance company claims the injury was preexisting. In other words, they are saying the worker was injured before he or she even started the job, so why should they pay out workers’ comp benefits?

When I injured my back at work my employer denied that my injury occurred at work. Because of this they would not pay me disability benefits and pay for my doctors’ bills. Since my back injury was so serious that it required surgery I could not work. My not having a pay check placed my family in a bad situation.
Although many of the issues in my case were complex, Attorney Sousa constantly met with me to explain what was going on with my case. He answered all my questions. Without the legal assistance I received from Sousa & Minogue, LLC , I do not know where my family would be today.
