How Will a Prior Injury Affect My Personal Injury Claim?


At our accident law firm in Fort Worth, our attorneys understand that anyone who leads an active lifestyle is prone to some sort of injury, especially to their joints, extremities, neck and back. A lot of these injuries are from another accident, occur on the job, or are just the natural wear and tear of being alive. Most of the time, these injuries aren't so bad until a new accident happens, causing the pain and intensity of these afflictions to get worse.

Many of our personal injury clients in Fort Worth think that just because they have a previous injury, their new accident claim is worthless. That's not true! Just because you were injured before doesn't mean that your case value immediately decreases.

The lawyers at the Anderson Law Firm like to use this analogy:

You are like a little egg with a small, tiny crack in it. The flaw in your shell isn't a problem until somebody else causes an accident and your egg completely breaks.

In these situations, you definitely deserve to get compensated for your injuries and the lawyers at the Anderson Law Firm can help you with just that.

In Texas, you can be awarded damages in a personal injury case for any new injury sustained in the accident as well as any aggravation of a pre-existing condition you had before the accident.

In order for you and your lawyer to be successful in winning these damages, you must be 100% honest and open with your medical history to your lawyer and any treating physician. That's because as soon as a claim or lawsuit is filed, the opposing insurance company will attempt to blame your present condition completely upon your previous injury.

Contact one of our personal injury lawyers at the Anderson Law Firm for a free case consultation if your prior injury has flared up after a new accident. We've been able to recover millions for our Fort Worth clients through the years, just call us at 817-294-1900.
