What damages can you recover if your accident injured an area of previous injury?
Mar 29th, 2011
When someone causes an auto, truck or motorcycle accident, they do not get to choose the person they injure. In other words, the person you run into could be a 90-year old women with weak bones and the accident could cause severe broken bones because of her weakened conditions. Or, you may run into someone with a weak spine because they are over-weight or work at a physically demanding job and the motor vehicle accident causes them pain that a healthy spine could have endured.
If you have an active condition at the time of your motor vehicle accident, then the jury would apportion your damages between the accident and your previous injury. It sometimes is difficult to determine whether you have a pre-existing condition that would reduce the amount of your claim and that is where the experience of the Kentucky Auto Accident Attorney, who has been handling motor vehicle cases for over 25 years, can assist you.
If you have been injured in a car accident, truck accident or motorcycle accident, please contact the Kentucky Auto Accident Attorney for your free consultation by calling 502-241-8000 (Louisville) or 859-367-0036 (Lexington) or by clicking here.

"When faced with the death of my brother due to negligence, Matt was the first person that came to mind primarily because of his integrity and the professionalism that he demonstrated. Matt is aggressive in representing his clients and I really appreciated that as he litigated our case." — Don Harris | Louisville, Kentucky
