Title: 1904.5 – Significant Aggravation Type: Text Slide Content: There must be significant aggravation of a pre-existing injury or illness to establish work-relatedness. The workplace event or exposure must aggravate a pre-existing injury or illness enough that it results in greater consequences than what would have occurred but for that event or exposure. This means that the pre-existing condition requires more medical treatment than otherwise needed; more restrictions, more days away, etc. |
