In Buffalo, personal injury law presents a unique challenge for those with pre-existing conditions. While these injuries may complicate things, it doesn’t mean you won’t be entitled to compensation for new injuries or the aggravation of old ones. But understanding how pre-existing injuries affect a personal injury claim is essential. If you've had past surgeries, chronic conditions, or previous accidents, and you're involved in a new car accident, the situation can feel overwhelming, especially when you don’t have an experienced Buffalo injury attorney to guide you. It's easy to assume that insurance companies might use your prior conditions against you, but in Buffalo and the rest of New York, the law has specific protections that you need to know about.
