If you’ve been injured in a serious accident, you might now be facing losses and injuries that make your life harder. You might now struggle to do things that once didn’t bother you or cause you pain, which makes your recovery harder.
Worse, you might have had a preexisting condition. Now, not only has your condition worsened, but the insurance company may try to use your previous injuries against you.
If you’ve been injured and your preexisting condition has worsened, you may need a lawyer’s help to recover. Since your condition could make getting compensated harder, you may need extra guidance to protect your coverage after an accident.
If you have a preexisting condition, there’s a possibility that the insurance company or responsible party will claim that all your injuries were preexisting conditions. That means they don’t have to pay for your recovery, which can get expensive fast.
Because they may not be willing to pay, you may need help from your Bronx personal injury attorney to prove you were injured in the accident. Often, this means a visit to the doctor. You may have visited right after your accident, and if you have a preexisting condition, you may have needed regular appointments to make sure you were recovering or maintaining your condition.
Your doctor can also perform other exams, where they can review your injuries and determine their cause. Their testimony can make a big difference in your claim.
If you’ve suffered from a preexisting condition on top of your current injury, your compensation could be affected by your injuries. While you may have suffered because of the accident, it may not have been as serious if you hadn’t already had a condition.
Because of this, your compensation could be changed to consider your preexisting condition. For example, let’s say you had back pain before your accident. You had already suffered some spinal damage, and your accident left you completely unable to walk.
Because you already had some spine damage, you may find that your insurance company doesn’t want to pay the full amount for your recovery. Making sure that you’re receiving a fair settlement, though, is key to your recovery. Reach out to a personal injury lawyer to find out what your claim is worth, not just what the insurance company is willing to pay.
If you’ve been injured by a careless person, you might have suffered new injuries, or you might have suffered worsening injuries. This suffering could leave you struggling worse than you had before. That makes your recovery even more difficult, and it can take away the progress you have made on your injuries.
