Understanding Compensation Types and Amounts
If you’ve had prior injuries or health issues, you might wonder how that history impacts your serious Connecticut personal injury case. Unfortunately, The Insurance Giants love using pre-existing conditions to dodge their responsibility for fair, just, and reasonable compensation to a serious motor vehicle crash victim. This strategy can make an already anguished experience that much more burdensome.
How does Big Insurance handle pre-existing conditions in accident claims?
Insurance adjusters are always on the lookout for anything that could reduce the amount they have to pay. They’ll dig into your medical records and search for past injuries or chronic conditions. If they find something — whether it’s an old knee injury, a history of migraines, or lingering back pain — they’ll argue that the incident didn’t really cause your post-motor vehicle crash symptoms. Instead, they’ll claim it’s just a continuation of your old problem.
But here’s the truth: your motor vehicle crash, the one caused by the Big Insurance Machine’s customer, not only victimized you with new conditions, it made your old condition worse. This is where healthcare records and expert medical opinions make all the difference, and having an experienced, driven law firm on your side can really make a difference.
Legal help is essential during a claim if you have a pre-existing condition.
When it comes to pre-existing conditions, you need a team that knows how to prove the difference between your old injuries and new damage caused by the crash AND how that crash made your old injuries worse. The right legal team can gather the right medical evidence and show how the crash aggravated your condition or triggered new issues.
The Insurance Giants like to twist things, but with an experienced legal team on your side, they won’t be able to intimidate you or brush off your injuries. Your legal team will know how to enlist medical experts, connect the dots between the motor vehicle crash and your current health, and build a solid case that pushes back against the Insurance Giant’s excuses.
Let’s say you’ve been dealing with arthritis for years, but then after the wreck, your mobility takes a nose dive. The insurance company might claim it’s your terribly diminished mobility is simply a result of your arthritis. But with the right legal team, they can prove the accident not only aggravated your condition but that because of your pre-existing diagnoses, you were even more susceptible to injuries from the motor vehicle crash.
Protect your rights always, especially with pre-existing conditions.
Don’t let your past health issues ruin your chances of receiving the compensation you deserve.
