No, your claim can not be denied if you had a pre-existing condition if the new accident made you worse or caused the need for more treatment.

Actually, in comp a pre-existing condition is not necessarily a bad thing. So long as a new injury or worsening can be shown, then the award can actaully be higher based upon the prior level of disability. I strongly suggest you contact an attorney to discuss your case. We have an entire department that can assist you if you wish. Please feel free to contact us at 800-34 NJ LAW
