Read MoreAnswers to common questions about :Pre-existing health issues
Will a pre-existing health issue impact my injury claim?
Many people in the UK have a pre-existing health issue, which may have been made worse due to an accident.. When making an injury claim it is important to disclose any underlying health conditions that you have.
What is a pre-existing health condition?
For example, it might be that you have an existing injury that you have sustained from a previous accident or a medical diagnosis. If you had a pre-existing back injury from a prior car accident, and then your back is injured again from a fall at work, this could make your back injury worse.
Do I have to disclose my medical history when making a claim?
It is important to be honest about your medical history when making a personal injury claim. This will help your solicitor prove which injuries were caused as a direct result of the accident, and which pre-existing conditions were made worse.
If you are not honest about existing medical conditions this may jeopardise the success of your claim.
Will I need a medical report?
When making a personal injury claim it is typical for your case handler to arrange an independent doctor's report.
An assessment is needed in order to find out how serious your injuries are, and what injuries were specifically caused by the accident.
What if the accident only affected an existing health condition?
The defendant will still be liable for the injury caused. This is down to what is known as the ‘eggshell skull’ rule. This means that the defendant has to take their victim as they find them, even if this means that the injured party’s existing health condition has exacerbated their injuries.
