If you were involved in an accident that aggravated a pre-existing condition, you may be entitled to compensation for the resulting medical bills and other damages; however, the insurance company might use your medical history to argue that the injury existed before the accident and therefore you shouldn’t be awarded compensation, or the value of your claim should be reduced. Fortunately, there are many kinds of evidence a skilled personal injury lawyer may use to prove that your injury was worsened by the accident. Such evidence may include photos of the scene, video recordings of the incident, eyewitness and expert witness testimony, the police and/or incident report, and medical documentation.
About Michael Waks
Michael Waks is an aggressive advocate for people who have suffered because of someone else’s actions. Michael decided to become a personal injury lawyer when, while clerking at a legal defense firm during law school, he witnessed and was infuriated by asbestos manufacturers spending millions to avoid taking responsibility for the egregious injuries they caused. Immediately after passing the bar, Michael opened his own firm in Long Beach, CA to help the victims of personal injury accidents get every benefit owed them under the law.
