Eggshell Doctrine
This blog will discuss the Eggshell Doctrine’s preexisting conditions, discussion, and questions you should ask your attorney if you have a preexisting condition and get in an accident.
Texas Department of Transportation (“TxDOT”)
According to the Texas Department of Transportation (“TxDOT”), almost 90,000 people are seriously injured in Texas. A car accident can be devastating if the injuries incurred by the victim are severe enough to affect their daily life. But additionally, if the victim has a pre-condition, the devastation could be worst. In this blog, we will discuss the impact of preexisting conditions on the personal injury lawsuit.
Preexisting Conditions and Personal Injury Claim
This blog will talk about the Eggshell Doctrine and preexisting conditions and discussion and questions you should ask your attorney if you have a preexisting condition and get in an accident.
In Texas, the Eggshell doctrine is a rule that states that the negligent party must take the injured victim as they find them. As the victim, you have the right to be compensated for the injuries due to someone else’s negligence. In basic terms, you should recover from a negligent party even if you had pre-conditions. The rule protects you from any additional aggravated injuries due to the accident. You need to seek recovery and medical help immediately if you have a preexisting condition and are in an accident.
Healthcare.gov
On the website at Healthcare.gov, a definition of a preexisting condition is a health problem, like asthma, diabetes, or cancer, you had before the date that new health coverage starts. Insurance companies can’t refuse to cover treatment for your preexisting condition or charge you more. A personal injury attorney can help you recover from an existing injury, even if that injury is aggravated or made worse by the auto accident. You must talk to your attorney to recover for all your losses and get the compensation you deserve.
It would help if you also asked your attorney about the Medical Release Form. This is a form that you sign that allows the insurance company too to obtain medical records. An attorney can help you with this form because an overboard medical release could be bad for your case. It is always important to seek medical help and call an experienced attorney to help you with your claim.
Insurance Companies
Most insurance companies will deny coverage for “unnecessary” medical bills. But in Texas, you can recover for conditions aggregated or made worse because of the accident. Therefore, before accepting a settlement, you must reach out to an attorney to ensure you are requesting and recovering for preexisting conditions.
