Georgia Auto Accident Lawyers, Montlick & Associates, Reviews Your Legal Rights if You are Injured in an Accident and Have Pre-Existing Medical Conditions
A car accident can be devastating, but if you have a pre-existing medical condition prior to the accident, dealing with the insurance companies, without legal representation, can be especially overwhelming. To help you understand your rights after an accident, the Georgia Auto Accident Lawyers at Montlick & Associates have created the video posted at the top of this page.
Aggravation of a pre-existing injury is, in fact, considered a new injury and supports a claim. If your ability to function or enjoy life is affected, or your condition is worsened by the accident, you may be entitled to compensation. However, the insurance company will probably argue that your current injuries were not caused by the accident, that they were due to a prior injury. They routinely take this position to pay you less, or to deny your claim altogether.
Pre-existing injuries generally do not compromise car accident injury claims when a victim suffers aggravation of a prior injury, or makes a prior injury more serious. The experienced attorneys at Montlick & Associates will work to prove and establish the value of your new injuries or aggravation of a pre-existing medical condition.
“It is important to remember, that if you have been injured in an accident and have a pre-existing injury or medical condition, you must disclose the information to the insurance company and the attorneys representing you. Our attorneys have more than 30 years experience in this area and can help you prove the full extent of your injuries,” says David Montlick, Founder and CEO of Montlick & Associates. “While it is the insurance company’s goal to pay you as little as possible, it is our goal to get you the compensation you deserve.”
If you are injured in an accident, the most important thing is your health and recovery. The Georgia Auto Accident Lawyers at Montlick & Associates advise that you get medical treatment as soon as possible following the accident. Without it, your recovery could take a lot longer. In addition, you’ll need the medical documentation to prove your injuries.
