Yes. You can make an aggravation of injury case in that scenario. And sometimes that case can be better (or easier to prove) than someone who has never had a neck injury and now has the same injury. When you have a prior injury, a neck injury for example, we are able to get those prior records which give a baseline. So if your prior injury shows that a year before the accident, the client had an MRI which shows the injury at one level of the neck but now after the accident, an MRI of the neck shows a new injury at a different level and/or a larger injury at the same level, then there may be strong argument to show that the new or larger injury was definitively caused by the accident. Thus, if you believe that your accident has aggravated a prior injury, you may want to make that part of your injury case.
If you have been in a car accident and believe the other vehicle is at fault, please feel free to call the accident attorney at Drucker Law Offices, which is attorney Gary J. Drucker. At Drucker law offices, there is a free consultation with the injury lawyer who will discuss your case with you. Mr. Drucker gives his cellular phone to all the clients as his belief is that “personal injury deserves personal attention.” And of course, there is no fee unless you recover money in your accident case.
