Va. Model Jury Instr. Civ. No. 9.030
Aggravation of Pre-Existing Condition
If you find that the plaintiff had a condition before the accident that was aggravated as a result
of the accident or that the pre-existing condition made the injury he received in the accident more
severe or more difficult to treat, then, [if you find your verdict for the plaintiff,] he may recover
for the aggravation and for the increased severity or difficulty of treatment, but he is not entitled
to recover for the pre-existing condition.
