Your car gets bumped, and your neck feels sore the next day. But for people living with a pre-existing condition, whether it\u2019s arthritis or a previous injury, even a fender bender can be serious. Not only are the resulting injuries painful, but they may require extensive medical treatment. In these cases, you\u2019ll want to make a claim for compensation after a car wreck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Can the insurance company deny your claim based on your pre-existing condition? They might try to, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t fight back. A legal rule called the \u201ceggshell skull rule\u201d protects Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida accident victims when a crash worsens a pre-existing injury or condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Many of Us Have Pre-Existing Conditions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While a diagnosis like arthritis may quickly come to mind, many different pre-existing diseases and conditions can complicate your car accident claim. At Andy Citrin Injury Attorneys, we\u2019ve seen insurance companies dispute or deny claims when the accident victim lived with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chronic illnesses, like rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Degenerative disc disease<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Degenerative joint disease<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Diabetes or diabetic neuropathy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Migraines and tension headaches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Osteoporosis or osteopenia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Past surgeries or injuries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Traumatic brain injuries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scoliosis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, some people aren\u2019t even aware of their potential pre-existing issues. For example, you may have arthritis in your back, and you may not know about it. After a crash, the insurance company may focus on the times that you casually reported back or neck pain to your doctor, especially when your imaging studies report \u201cdegenerative changes\u201d later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>RELATED ARTICLE: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/blog\/mild-traumatic-brain-injuries-can-cause-life-changing-symptoms-and-you-deserve-compensation\/\"><strong>\u201cMild\u201d Traumatic Brain Injuries Can Cause Life-Changing Symptoms \u2013 and You Deserve Compensation<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is the Eggshell Skull Rule?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In these cases, the eggshell skull rule protects these victims. The rule mandates that victims be \u201ctaken as they are\u201d at the time of an accident. In plain English, if a victim is more prone to injury than an average person, the insurance company can\u2019t use it as an excuse to avoid paying compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s called the eggshell skull doctrine because it covers all preexisting conditions, including rare and unusual ones. For example, let\u2019s say you ran a stop sign and struck another car. If the other driver has a rare brittle bone disorder, or a skull as thin as an eggshell, you and your insurance company would still have to cover the victim\u2019s damages\u2014even though they are probably more extensive than if the individual had been able-bodied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, many insurance companies try to <a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/blog\/how-do-pre-existing-conditions-affect-my-18-wheeler-crash-claim\/\">deny claims based on victims\u2019 pre-existing conditions<\/a>. These companies hope victims don\u2019t understand Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida\u2019s injury laws and won\u2019t consult an experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/practice-area\/mobile\/car-accident-lawyers\/\" data-type=\"pmp_practice_area\" data-id=\"20525\">Mobile car wreck lawyer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make an Injury Claim When You Have a Pre-Existing Condition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting fair compensation from the insurance company after a crash can be challenging, especially if you have a pre-existing health condition. However, by following a few simple tips, you may improve your chances of getting the compensation you deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><br><h3>Seek Medical Care After a Car Accident<\/h3><br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a wreck, it can be tempting to skip going to the doctor, especially if you already live with chronic pain. No matter how small the accident might seem or whether you feel like the crash made your pain worse, you should seek medical care right away. Remember, symptoms of some injuries, especially back and neck injuries, can develop over time. Only a doctor is qualified to evaluate you and determine the extent of your injuries.<br>\nYou also want to have documentation of your injuries. If the accident aggravates your chronic condition, but there\u2019s no documentation, the insurance company will deny your claim for compensation. It may argue that your injuries aren\u2019t as bad as you\u2019re claiming, or that if you really suffered a serious injury, you would have gone to the doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RELATED ARTICLE: <a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/blog\/6-tactics-used-by-insurance-adjusters-and-how-to-handle-them\/\">6 Tactics Used by Insurance Adjusters and How to Handle Them<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><br><h3>Work With a Lawyer to Prove That Your Pain Is Connected to the Car Accident<\/h3><br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An insurance company may try to deny your claim by saying your injuries didn\u2019t result from the accident at all. For instance, if you live with a chronic spine condition and experience a worsening of your condition, swelling, or a reaggravation after getting rear-ended, the company might argue that your pain, restricted movement, and discomfort are due to your underlying condition, not the car accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, how can you prove that your pain and injuries are linked to the wreck that injured you? The most important step is to provide thorough medical records and get expert testimony that establishes causation between your pain and the accident. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help you compile the documents and witnesses you need to make a strong case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><br><h3>Follow the Correct Claim Process<\/h3><br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each insurance company has its own process for <a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/ebooks\/protect-yourself-after-an-alabama-car-accident\/\" data-type=\"ebooks\" data-id=\"20444\">filing a claim after a car accident<\/a>. However, you\u2019ll need to do more than follow the insurance company\u2019s directions. In addition to the company\u2019s claim processes, you\u2019ll also need to comply with your state\u2019s legal procedures. For example, each state sets strict filing deadlines for injury lawsuits. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For help with the claim process, reach out to a personal injury lawyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><br><h3>Don\u2019t Settle Before You Consult with an Attorney<\/h3><br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the wreck, you may hear from an insurance adjuster. The adjuster&#8217;s job is to settle your claim as quickly and cheaply as possible. The adjuster may even use underhanded tactics to convince you to accept a settlement that\u2019s far too low.<br>\nAt Andy Citrin Injury Attorneys, we help our clients make the best possible decisions based on their unique situations.
