Do Pre-Existing Conditions Affect Personal Injury Claims?

The civil law in Illinois is forgiven and what it says is okay not every person who comes into court who’s injured as a result of someone else’s negligence needs to be an Olympic athlete. Many people regardless of their background or regardless of their occupation have a prior injury or prior condition. The law says if you have that you present evidence of how it exacerbated or aggravated the underlying condition. What we do is we present medical evidence through doctors nurses and therapists as well as through friends and family members of how active they were even with their prior injury versus what happened to them in the accident that you’ve come to us for you.
