Our client was on her daily exercise walk when a turning vehicle struck her and threw her to the ground. She suffered a fractured knee, which was treated conservatively, and a lumbar disc injury.
Proving the Crash Worsened Her Back
MRIs taken before the crash had already shown herniations in her spine, and the defense argued that her compensation should be reduced because of those pre-existing injuries. We proved that the crash caused further damage, an aggravation and exacerbation of her prior condition. She needed a lower back discectomy, a surgery that removes the herniated disc.
