Generally yes, you can have a case for an aggravation of a prior injury in Florida. In fact, sometimes it is easier to prove an injury that is aggravated, as the doctors will have a “baseline” to compare your current injuries to and thus make it easier to casually relate your current injuries to the subject accident. The key is to be honest with your doctors in explaining that you had a prior accident and to bring any records or diagnostic tests, like MRIs with you so that your current doctors can compare the injuries reported in this accident to the injured reported in your prior accident (or just to your prior records if your prior injury was not related to a prior accident). The mistake that people make in Florida is to not be forthright with their doctors and then in a court setting it looks like you were not telling the truth and that can be very bad for an injury case.
