Know Your Rights

Simply because you have a pre-existing spinal injury or medical condition does not prevent you from recovering if you are further injured by someone’s negligence.  Aggravations of pre-existing conditions are considered new injuries.  It is important for us to gather your pre and post accident medical records to determine the extent of the aggravation.  We will have a medical expert examine these records and provide us with an opinion as to what injuries were cause by the accident and which are simply part of the pre-existing condition.

Jim was with me from start to finish in my workers compensation claim against the national company that I worked for. I was with the company for 44 years before the injury happened and he was right by my side making sure that the company and their insurance company continued to provide me with my benefit until the claim came to a final and satisfactory conclusion. I would highly recommend Jim as a true workers compensation attorney that will fight for you and your rights under the worker compensation law.
