Being injured in an accident caused by another party can put a stop to a person’s daily life as they recover and heal. Suffering an injury from an accident is already bad enough, but when the accident victim has a pre-existing condition, this factor can make the personal injury claims process more difficult. This is because when a person has a pre-existing condition, the insurance providers may try to use this as evidence that the accident did not cause the injuries you have suffered and thus lower your settlement offer. While a pre-existing condition may make the claims process more challenging, with the help of a trusted personal injury lawyer, it is not impossible to get the fair compensation you deserve.
