General Personal Injury FAQs — Orlando

• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Orlando allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like skin grafts after injury. Don’t accept “The bills are higher than reasonable market value.” at face value.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Orlando?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “You were partially at fault for the accident.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓What should I do if GEICO says “You didn’t miss enough work to qualify for compensation.” after my Orlando crash?
  Insurers like GEICO often use lines such as “You didn’t miss enough work to qualify for compensation.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like severe hand crush injury can be life-changing. In Orlando, 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 2.45M.
• ❓An adjuster told me “The treatment timeline doesn’t make sense..” Can a Orlando personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “The treatment timeline doesn’t make sense.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Auto-Owners Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a high-value verdict in 163rd Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓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 2.14M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Orlando.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Patriot Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a passenger struck in side-impact collision with spinal cord injury, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
