        "text": "Yes, you may still be able to file a head injury claim even if you had a pre-existing condition. The law protects individuals whose pre-existing conditions are worsened or aggravated by a new injury caused by someone else's negligence. It is crucial to demonstrate that the recent accident caused a new injury or significantly exacerbated your prior condition. Your attorney will help differentiate the new damage from the old.",
