Question:

Will pre-existing conditions affect my personal injury claim?

Answer:

Preexisting conditions are interesting because insurance companies look at them and say, “You’ve already had the injury; we didn’t really cause an injury.” The problem is with the preexisting injury, you’re more susceptible to a new injury or a re-aggravation of that injury, and so when they cause something new, oftentimes because of the preexisting, it makes it worse.

Were you or a loved one seriously injured in an accident and have questions about pre-existing injuries potentially affecting your claim?
