Disclosing Pre-Existing Injuries to Your Palm Beach County Car Crash Attorney

So you find yourself in a Palm Beach County, Florida car crash and you already have an existing injury—maybe a herniated disc, a previous neck injury.  Is this problematic?  Not necessarily; however, it is imperative that you disclose to your West Palm Beach accident attorney any injuries existing prior to and at the time of the accident.  Defense counsel can use this as a technique to disclaim liability, but you find your victim as they are.  You may have a pre-existing condition that has become worse as a result of the current car accident. Be honest with your personal injury attorney and medical care provider about your symptoms prior to the accident and after the accident as oftentimes presentation of competent and objective medical data will make it easier to settle your case and or make a presentation to a jury.
