General Personal Injury FAQs — Bartow

• ❓Do I have to take a low offer or can we fight for a better result?
  You never have to accept a lowball. We negotiate hard with insurers, and when needed we move toward a binding arbitration resulted in favorable award. Our case histories include results such as 1.12M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Bartow.
• ❓An adjuster told me “Our evaluation doesn’t match your claim..” Can a Bartow personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “Our evaluation doesn’t match your claim.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Root Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a structured settlement agreement reached and pursue full compensation.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Bartow allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like tarsal bone fracture. Don’t accept “We’re still evaluating liability with our insured.” at face value.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Elephant Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a motorcyclist with rotational ankle fracture, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓What should I do if Penn National Insurance says “We’re waiting on statements from witnesses.” after my Bartow crash?
  Insurers like Penn National Insurance often use lines such as “We’re waiting on statements from witnesses.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like posterior interosseous nerve injury can be life-changing. In Bartow, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a binding arbitration resulted in favorable award — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.24M.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Bartow?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “We can’t confirm that you were the driver.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
