Back Injury- Rahway, NJ
In 2007, I achieved a difficult recovery in a back injury settlement that the defense fought on the grounds that my client had pre-existing back injuries. In this type of back injury case, it’s common for defense to blame new back injuries and problems on prior conditions, and refuse to pay medical bills or other costs associated with these difficulties, including time lost from work and even long-term inability to work at a physically demanding job due to the injuries. As a New Jersey back injury attorney, I’ve successfully litigated complicated back injury cases to positive settlement results for my clients.
In this case, as in most back injury cases with pre-existing conditions, the defense maintained that the new back injuries were merely a manifestation of previous conditions. To support their claim, defense in this back injury claim came forward with medical records that supposedly proved the injuries were related to the prior condition.
To negate this position, I used my contacts and experience as a successful personal injury attorney to coordinate expert testimony differentiating earlier diagnostic findings from post-accident diagnostic tests. Essentially, my experts proved that the new diagnostic findings could only be caused by the accident in which my Rahway client sustained the new back injuries, and the defense was no longer able to maintain its earlier position.
Personal injury cases with a pre-existing medical condition can be some of the most difficult cases to litigate. Defense always tries to establish that new injuries and symptoms are a result of an underlying condition. To fight these tactics, it’s vital to work with a good back injury lawyer who can call upon respected and knowledgeable medical professionals to provide expert testimony and negate this typical defensive position.
As a personal injury attorney with years of experience in obtaining favorable back injury settlements for my clients, I have the contacts and expertise to bring you a favorable resolution – just like this client in 2007. Don’t let these common tactics cost you the back injury compensation you deserve.
