Barry Goldberg here. A lot of people ask this question. Um, does an aggravated old injury count in a claim? And I say absolutely it does count. Sometimes it’s helpful, sometimes it’s not. But there’s very few people out there in the world that don’t have some kind of injury or damage to their body over the course of time. So the question we ask after an accident is, is the injury completely new and caused by the accident or did it aggravate a pre-existing condition? Either way, a client is allowed to
00:00:32 – 00:01:28
recover uh for an aggravation of a pre-existing condition or if the injury is new, but it has to be presented as to why this accident aggravated that pre-existing condition and what was the situation with that pre-existing condition. Was it stationary and not causing any problems until the accident? Um the defense is going to claim that all of the damages was were result of a pre-existing condition. But I think that um if someone goes to the doctor after an accident and explains what’s going on
00:01:00 – 00:01:18
with them, what hurts, what was better before and is worse now, we do a pretty good job of getting recovery for aggravation of a pre-existing Edition.
