        "text": "Yes, you can still pursue a TBI claim even if you had pre-existing conditions. However, the legal challenge lies in demonstrating that the recent accident either caused a new injury or significantly worsened an existing one. Insurance companies often try to attribute symptoms to pre-existing conditions. A skilled TBI lawyer will work with medical experts to differentiate between your prior health status and the new or aggravated injuries caused by the accident.",
