How long ago was you injury? Arthritis usually takes quite some time to develop; therefore, if it is just since your accident, and that wasn't that long ago, it is probably pre-existing.
What do you mean your attorney wants to turn your third party claim over to the insurer? You have the right to pursue your third party claim; however, the insurer will have a lien on any settlement to recover thier costs: time loss, medical and any PPD you may have been awarded. Your insurer can also pursue the third party: it is your choice.
