I am sorry to hear about the injuries that you sustained in the car accident. I've been handling auto accident cases for years and many of those cases involve clients have had pre-existing injuries or conditions. Under South Carolina law, you are entitled to receive compensation for any aggravation caused by the accident on a case by case basis. Cases involving injuries that aggravate a preexisting condition can be very difficult without an attorney because the insurance company will refuse to offer you reasonable compensation. I would be happy to speak with you to obtain additional information in order to determine if I can help you.
