General Personal Injury FAQs — Keystone Heights

• ❓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 case settled during mediation. Our case histories include results such as 1.01M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Keystone Heights.
• ❓What should I do if National General says “You waited too long to seek treatment.” after my Keystone Heights crash?
  Insurers like National General often use lines such as “You waited too long to seek treatment.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like nerve root impingement can be life-changing. In Keystone Heights, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a case settled during mediation — outcomes in our files include results up to 691K.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., The General) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a driver hit during lane change with femoral shaft fracture, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Keystone Heights allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like scapula fracture. Don’t accept “The bills are higher than reasonable market value.” at face value.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You didn’t provide a recorded statement..” Can a Keystone Heights personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You didn’t provide a recorded statement.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Aspire General. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a settlement reached post-verdict in 97th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Keystone Heights?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “You’re not permanently impaired.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
