CASE RESULTS SNAPSHOT Even With Preexisting Conditions, You Can Still Be Compensated!

3. Doctors were involved. To be sure we could clearly prove the shoulder injury, we met with her orthopedic surgeon so

Michelle came to us after a Spartanburg car crash that worsened her chronic migraines and a right shoulder condition. Even though it wasn’t her fault, she felt bogged down by her injuries and the fear that she’d never be compensated because she had these problems before the crash.

he could give his view of injuries caused by the crash. This brief, critical meeting yielded a powerful questionnaire

with a simple, powerful YES, the crash required a surgical procedure — a noninvasive shoulder manipulation under anesthesia, where the surgeon moved the joint around to loosen a “frozen shoulder.”

We assured her that if you can prove that your preexisting conditions were worsened by the accident, you can be compensated. However, insurance companies love to hide behind what they call “preexisting injuries,” using them to deny claims.

4. We never denied the prior injury to the insurance company. In fact, we admitted it. When the insurance company demanded prior medical records about the shoulder, we gladly handed them over with a critical explanation. We used it as a chance to restate our case: The crash worsened Michelle’s shoulder to the point she needed surgery, as shown by her surgeon’s questionnaire. Armed with this evidence, we got the liability limits of $50,000 plus $12,500 from Michelle’s own policy of underinsurance. Michelle was thrilled and relieved. We were proud to be part of her case’s $62,500 success after such a doubtful start for her.

Here’s how Michelle’s car crash legal team helped:

1. We evaluated complex medical evidence. We gathered and carefully analyzed years of medical records before and after the crash.

This allowed us to gain a clinical understanding of her problems and how the crash made them worse.

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” –Galatians 6:2 “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.” –Ephesians 1:18-19 Good News 2. We helped Michelle pick her battles. Because I saw the migraines weren’t clearly worsened, I discussed with Michelle a strategy of letting that claim go. She agreed. It allowed us to focus on the real problem: her shoulder.
