Columbus, Ohio. According to David A. Bressman, a personal injury lawyer who limits his practice exclusively those injured in car accidents, insurance companies use many standard arguments when trying to minimize payment to injury victims. Here is #2 in this ongoing series

Using Your Medical History Against You

•You had hearing or vision problems and weren't wearing glasses or hearing aid.
•You had other physical defects, i.e., epilepsy, headaches, sickness, etc., which impaired driving ability and perception and reaction time.
•You were on medications for other medical conditions and that medication affected your ability to drive
•You already had an injury to the same area and, thus, there is no way you could have been injured at all/or as injured as you claim
•You were going to need surgery to your neck/arm/leg/back in a few years anyway the accident merely sped up the process
•Because of the aging process, you already had bulging discs and, thus, there is no way you could have been injured at all/or as injured as you claim
