A: If you had a lawyer for the 2013 injury, giving them a call would be a great place to start. In PA aggravation of a pre-existing condition is considered a new work injury, but drawing the line between a true aggravation and a flare up of the old injury can be tricky. If you did not have a lawyer for the 2013 injury, I would suggest getting one now since this claim has the potential to become rather complicated.
