General Personal Injury FAQs — Buras

• ❓What should I do if Patriot Insurance says “You didn’t report the injury immediately.” after my Buras crash?
  Insurers like Patriot Insurance often use lines such as “You didn’t report the injury immediately.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like splenic rupture can be life-changing. In Buras, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a case resolved through court-supervised mediation — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.37M.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Buras?
  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.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Mercury Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a public transit passenger with severe facial disfigurement, 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 case resolved through court-supervised mediation. Our case histories include results such as 2.46M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Buras.
• ❓An adjuster told me “We don’t believe the treatment was necessary..” Can a Buras personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “We don’t believe the treatment was necessary.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like The General. 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 Buras allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like loss of vision from head trauma. Don’t accept “We’re still evaluating liability with our insured.” at face value.
