Pre-Existing Conditions–What Really Matters is How You Felt Before the Accident

Clients often mention pre-existing conditions. They are concerned that things like degenerative disc disease may affect their recoveries.

Insurance companies dwell on pre-existing conditions. But they can be effectively addressed by common sense and good lawyering.

Many injured persons’ medical records show degenerative disc disease, narrowing of the spinal column and or other issues. These are typical for a person who has lived an active life. The key is the contrast between life before and after the accident. If you didn’t hurt before the accident and you hurt after, that’s the only thing that should matter.
