Know Your Rights
Simply because you have a pre-existing spinal injury or medical condition does not prevent you from recovering if you are further injured by someone’s negligence. Aggravations of pre-existing conditions are considered new injuries. It is important for us to gather your pre and post accident medical records to determine the extent of the aggravation. We will have a medical expert examine these records and provide us with an opinion as to what injuries were cause by the accident and which are simply part of the pre-existing condition.
