  1. Charlotte: How Does a Preexisting Injury Impact My Personal Injury Claim?

  2. If you have been injured in a car wreck on the public roads and interstate highways in and around Charlotte or have suffered a slip and fall or some other injury caused by the wrongful act of another, you are entitled to seek compensation for your injuries. However, sometimes victims of the negligence of others have a preexisting condition. When this is the case, they may think: “What if I have a preexisting injury? How will that impact my personal injury claim?”

  3. However, do not let the insurance companies win. You should not be denied compensation. You can seek to recover compensation for any injury in including an aggravation or exacerbation of a preexisting injury or condition.

  4. Accidents In Charlotte: Law of Negligence Liability for accidents in Charlotte is governed by the North Carolina law of negligence. In order to establish a negligence claim, the person injured in the accident must prove: (1) a duty of care (2)a breach of that duty (3) proximate causation and (4) damage or injury. A person with a preexisting condition has the burden of proving these elements as well as an aggravation of his or her preexisting injury.

  5. Medical Records Will Be Key In North Carolina To prove your preexisting condition was exacerbated by the accident, medical records and doctors’ evaluations will be key. Essentially, the doctors and the judge and jury will be comparing your medical condition prior to the collision to your medical condition after the collision.

  6. The information, records, and examinations that may be used include: Lab tests, X-rays, MRIs, and CAT-scans Blood and other testsMuscle, bone, and other tissue biopsiesPast and present medical records Disease/condition history–onset and progression reports Diagnosis and prognosis
