Insurers May Challenge Pre-Existing Conditions in your Georgia Personal Injury Claim

If you are seeking compensation for the medical expenses you have incurred as a result of a car accident, you can expect the insurance company to do everything possible to diminish your Georgia personal injury claim. When your injuries are serious and you have pre-existing conditions, you will want to have the help of an Atlanta personal injury attorney.

Here are some of the arguments the insurance company may use against you:
  • Your injuries are exaggerated.
  • Immediate medical attention wasn’t sought.
  • You refused to be treated at the scene of the accident.
  • After receiving treatment in the emergency room, you waited too long to see your doctor.
  • Emergency room records don’t indicate complaints of pain that you now experience.
  • You missed doctor appointments.
  • There was a failure to follow medical advice.
  • Medical records indicate you have pre-existing conditions.

The most common one of these arguments used is that your pre-existing conditionsare the reason for your pain and other complications. Even if you did suffer a previous injury, if it was made worse by the accident, you still may have the right to be compensated.
