How to Prove Your Injury Resulted from a Vehicular Accident, Not a Pre-Existing Condition?

How can you prove your injury resulted from a vehicular accident and wasn’t the result of a pre-existing condition? Insurance companies deny as many claims as possible. They will search high and low for any reason to say your injury isn’t covered. After a car accident, they might even blame a pre-existing condition for your pain.

Insurance companies often dispute these medical conditions after a wreck:

  • Headaches
  • Back pain
  • Memory loss
  • Torn ligaments
  • Muscle sprains
  • Arthritis
  • Anxiety

If this happens to you, don’t give up! Here’s how you can prove them wrong and win your claim:

Seek Immediate Medical Care

People don’t like going to the doctor. They try to push it off indefinitely and “work” through the pain. But this is the last thing you want to do after a car accident. It’s best to seek care immediately, even if your pain isn’t too bad. The doctor will record any injuries you sustained in the accident; these notes might be all it takes to appease your insurance company.

Gather Old Medical Records

Is your insurance company blaming your back pain on a previous injury? The truth might lie in your old medical records. Call your healthcare providers and have them release all your records to the insurance company. Even if old X-rays show a bulging disc, your records will prove you didn’t seek treatment until the car accident aggravated the problem.

Find an Eyewitness Testimony

Did someone else see the accident happen? If so, have them testify as an eyewitness. Their testimony will help establish liability and show the insurance company that you sustained the injuries due to the accident.

Produce Employment Records

Were you able to work before the accident? Have your employer document your attendance and performance for your insurance company. These records will also confirm if you took a leave of absence or reduced your workload due to the car wreck. Use this evidence to demonstrate your injuries were not due to a pre-existing condition.

Hire a Personal Injury Attorney

Insurance companies don’t like paying out claims. And they will sometimes go to great lengths to indicate a pre-existing condition is the cause of your pain and suffering. Instead of allowing them to gaslight you, let a personal injury attorney look over your case.

At Massey Law Personal Injury Attorneys, we understand the physical and financial challenges victims face after a car accident. Our team will collect the evidence necessary to prove your case. Then, we will fight to get every dollar you deserve for your injuries.

Are you dealing with pain after a car accident, but insurance doesn’t want to pay? Contact us to find an attorney who will prove your injury resulted from a vehicular accident.
