Pre-Existing Conditions — Will They Use Your Medical History Against You?

In this episode of Peachtree Injury Talk, attorney Jordan Jewkes discusses the impact of pre-existing conditions on personal injury claims. Jewkes explains that a pre-existing condition is an injury or medical issue existing before an accident, which can be aggravated by the new incident. Despite insurance companies often using pre-existing conditions to deny or reduce claims, the “eggshell plaintiff” rule holds defendants liable for worsening any prior vulnerabilities. He emphasizes the importance of honesty and full medical disclosure to effectively prove aggravation of prior injuries. Jewkes also notes that a previous injury can sometimes strengthen a claim if the accident caused additional harm. He advises those concerned about their medical history affecting compensation to consult an attorney to protect their rights and ensure fair recovery.
