Can a Pre-existing Medical Condition Impact an Accident or Injury Claim?

Location: Atlanta, Georgia Topic: Can Preexisting Medical Conditions Impact an Accident or Injury Claim? Shannon Walshe: Welome to The Daily Two. I am joined today by Jacquie Palisi, Family Safety Advocate, from Montlick & Associates. Jacquie, you are here each week with some really helpful advice with your firm's Family Safety & Legal Tips program. Last week a viewer raised a question concerning a pre-existing medical condition and the impact it may have on an accident claim. What advice do your attorneys have on this? Jacquie Palisi: Each case is unique. But generally speaking, if someone files an insurance claim against a negligent party and they have a pre-existing medical condition, the insurance company will routinely argue your current injuries were not caused by the accident. That they were due to a prior injury. They take this position to pay you less or to deny your claim. Shannon Walshe: Is their argument a valid one? Jacquie Palisi: Not usually. It is important for injured people to know that an aggravation of a pre-existing medical condition or injury is in fact a new injury that gives you a right to compensation. Shannon Walshe: So if a pre-existing medical condition is made worse by an accident, you should be entitled to compensation? Jacquie Palisi: Yes. Our firm has been representing Georgia accident victims for over 30 years and our attorneys can help you prove the full extent of your injury. Shannon Walshe: Any other advice? Jacquie Palisi: If you get hurt in an accident, the most important thing is your health. Please make sure to get medical attention as quickly as possible. Without it, your recovery can take a lot longer and you will need the medical documentation to prove the full extent of your injuries. Shannon Walshe: Thanks Jacquie.
