In this video, our partner and lead litigator Tim Williams discusses osteoarthritis, a condition that many of our clients have when they come to Dwyer Williams Potter LLP. Insurance companies balk when they hear "arthritis" and generally refuse to pay for any arthritis-related medical costs even when clients didn't have any symptoms prior to their accident.
As we get older, most of us will develop arthritis in some fashion or another within the knees. Arthritis occurs when the connective tissue and the gliding tissues inside the knee become inflamed or partially worn out: when this happens, some bone spurring occurring and that sets people up for injury. What not many people know -- and what insurance companies don't want you to find out -- is that auto and other serious accidents can worsen existing arthritis by putting pressure on all of those little bone spurs and on the thinning portion of your knee. In this way, accidents can hasten the natural degenerative process -- and you *do* have a legal recourse if this happens to you.
If you have sustained a knee injury in any kind of serious accident in Oregon and don't know what comes next, feel free to call the experienced personal injury attorneys at Dwyer Williams Potter Personal Injury Attorneys at 888-247-9023. We can explain the legal process and help you get the settlement you deserve.
