Is Your Insurance Company Denying Your Spine Injury Claim?

Insurance companies often argue that spine injuries stem from "pre-existing degeneration" rather than recent accidents, leaving victims frustrated and without support. If you feel overwhelmed by this process, you’re not alone. New York law allows recovery for aggravation of existing conditions, meaning if an accident worsened a pre-existing condition, you are entitled to compensation. At Tomkiel & Tomkiel, we have successfully handled numerous cases like yours, securing fair compensation for our clients.
