What Do You Do When Insurance Tries To Claim a Client’s Injury Was Pre-Existing?

Video Transcript

The insurance companies love to blame a pre-existing condition and say it didn’t come from the wreck. We know how to address that.

So the insurance companies will often try to defend a case by claiming that a pre-existing condition is what’s going on with the client and not the injuries from the accident. Well, there are lots of ways we can approach that. One of the things we do is go back and get past medical records to prove that you didn’t have anything wrong with your shoulder, and you’ve seen your family doctor for years and nothing about the shoulder had been in those records. So there are various ways to address it, but normally we try to prove it up by using the past medical records to show that you had a clean bill of health on that body part before.

So if you had a pre-existing condition before your accident, it doesn’t mean you don’t have a valid claim. We know how to work with your doctor to try to get them to explain what is a new injury and what’s an aggravation of your pre-existing condition. We know how to work with the doctors to make sure to put the best foot forward with the insurance company to prove up your case.
