Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is a pre-existing condition that can be found in many Americans. It is common ailment found in people who have been long-term cigarette smokers. Moreover, people who are clinically labeled obese are also statistically more probable to have DDD. If you perform physical labor you are also more likely to be diagnosed having Degenerative Disc Disease. Now any good Phoenix personal injury lawyer knows that DDD is not actually a disease. It is just a condition that is found in our spine. Our discs are shock absorbers and the fluid that acts as the buffer can leak out and dry out. When this happens the disc heights become lower. This means there is more grinding and less shocking absorption, which equals more pain. Our Phoenix car accident injury lawyers know that the insurance company will hold onto a DDD diagnosis to argue that any pain you are still experiencing is created by your DDD and not the Arizona car accident.

Most People Do Not Know They Have DDD

Degenerative Disc Disease is a pre-existing condition that many people do not know they have until the car accident occurs. The maxim, you take your victim as you find it seams to be lost on Arizona car accident injury victims who have pre-existing conditions. Even a whiplash car accident can be devastating to a person with DDD. Our Phoenix whiplash lawyers know that a whiplash can have lasting effects to people who have weakness and instability in their spine. A simple rebuke of any claim that the DDD is the cause of your pain, is that I had DDD before the car accident, but had no complaints. Now I have acute non-stop pain. Our whiplash lawyers will look at your medical records and give them to the insurance company and ask them to show where you were treated by a medical doctor for your neck or back six months before the car accident.

Phoenix Whiplash Lawyers Should Be Hired If You Have DDD.

if you look at the homepage for this website, you will see that we do not believe that all car accidents require litigation. In fact, many do not necessitate the involvement of Phoenix whiplash lawyers. However, when you have a pre-existing injury the insurance companies use that as an opportunity to put a lower-evaluation on your claim. That means that you have to spend more time articulating your heath to them. Our Tempe whiplash law firm knows that combating a lower evaluation of your claim is our first step on getting our car accident victims fully compensated.
