15 years
Whether the at-fault driver was drowsy, intoxicated, or unlicensed, the law requires that driver "make you whole" to the condition you were in before being injured. This means that it doesn't matter if you were disabled or in bad health before the accident, you are still entitled to be compensated for your loss. All too often injured clients assume if they were in poor health before their accident they are unable to collect for their present medical treatment, pain, and suffering.
