Pre-Existing Injuries? You Can Still Have a Case

Many people hesitate to pursue a personal injury claim because they’ve had prior back pain, neck issues, or previous accidents. They assume their medical history disqualifies them. That’s simply not true.

Under Florida law, if an accident aggravates or worsens a pre-existing condition, you may still recover compensation for the additional harm caused. The at-fault party is responsible for the damage they caused, even if it made an old injury worse.

Insurance companies often try to blame your symptoms on your past medical history to reduce or deny payment. But prior injuries do not eliminate your rights. Being honest about your medical history is important, and experienced legal representation can ensure your case is presented properly.

If you’re unsure whether you have a claim, don’t assume the answer is no. Call us and let’s review your situation together.
