General Personal Injury FAQs — Bayou Blue

• ❓What should I do if Erie Insurance says “The damage doesn’t match your account of the crash.” after my Bayou Blue crash?
  Insurers like Erie Insurance often use lines such as “The damage doesn’t match your account of the crash.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like cerebral contusion can be life-changing. In Bayou Blue, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a final trial award rendered by 17th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.13M.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., MAPFRE Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a commuter hit in crosswalk with renal contusion or laceration, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓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 trial award rendered by 17th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 897K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Bayou Blue.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Bayou Blue allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like carotid artery injury. Don’t accept “You didn’t provide a recorded statement.” at face value.
• ❓An adjuster told me “We need an independent medical examination..” Can a Bayou Blue personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “We need an independent medical examination.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Bluefire Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a structured settlement agreement reached and pursue full compensation.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Bayou Blue?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “There’s insufficient evidence of impact severity.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
