General Personal Injury FAQs — Abbeville

• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Abbeville allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like mandibular nerve injury. Don’t accept “The photos you submitted aren’t clear.” at face value.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Horace Mann) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a victim of distracted driving crash with laryngeal fracture, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Abbeville?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “You saw a chiropractor, not a medical doctor.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓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 final judgment entered by 15th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.42M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Abbeville.
• ❓An adjuster told me “We believe the claim is inflated..” Can a Abbeville personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “We believe the claim is inflated.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like GuideOne Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a final trial award rendered by 15th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓What should I do if Wawanesa Insurance says “You didn’t go to the emergency room.” after my Abbeville crash?
  Insurers like Wawanesa Insurance often use lines such as “You didn’t go to the emergency room.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like TMJ dysfunction from impact can be life-changing. In Abbeville, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a final judgment entered by 15th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.32M.
