Automobile Accident Attorney in Tampa, FL for People with Pre-existing Injuries or Conditions

An automobile accident attorney from Clark & Martino, P.A. will be happy to explain how your pre-existing injury or condition might affect your chances of getting financial compensation. Quite often, accident victims suffer injuries that are made worse by a pre-existing physical or mental vulnerability such a herniated disc, high blood pressure, immune deficiency, osteoporosis, insomnia, depression – the list goes on and on. In Florida, the fact that you were previously injured will not necessarily let the defendant in your case off the hook. Thanks to what is known as the “eggshell-skull” rule, the defendant can be held responsible for your injuries even if you were highly susceptible to getting hurt. On the other hand, the defendant generally won’t be responsible for medical costs that you would have had anyway if the accident had never happened.  

If you think pre-existing injuries might be an issue in your case, an automobile accident attorney from Clark & Martino can attempt to help you get compensation for:

Lost wages

Medical expenses

Long-term care

Physical rehabilitation

Pain and suffering

And more

Figuring out who is responsible for what after a crash, especially when pre-existing injuries are involved, can be a very complex undertaking lasting months or even years. That is why speaking to a highly experienced automobile accident attorney is always a wise decision.
