I injured my knee 4 years ago in a skiing incident and although it was mostly recovered, I had pain from time to time. Surgery was recommened at the time of the skiing incident but I declined since it seemed to be doing o.k. Now, I've been in an auto accident last month and have been told that my knee will only get better with surgery. I haven't told my personal injury lawyer or the doctor performing the surgery of the previous knee injury. Will the insurance company paying the settlement be able to find out about it? If so, how will they find out? I've never authorized the third party insurance company to get my medical records.
