It’s often a surprise to our clients that insurance company lawyers dredge up old injuries and try to blame them for your current pain or suffering. Placing the responsibility for your current condition on something that happened many years ago is a common tactic that often sways juries. To diffuse these tricks designed to disarm or diminish your claim, we use your medical records to prove that the symptoms you now have were not problematic in the years since that injury or accident. For example, if the dislocated knee you had in college heals and you are functioning normally before the accident, a defense argument that the old injury is responsible for your post-accident pain and new inability to walk should fail if your recent medical records and your family, friends and co-workers can be used to show that you were completely fine before your new injury.
