General Personal Injury FAQs — Deridder

• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Safe Auto Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a passenger with shoulder dislocation, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓An adjuster told me “We can’t confirm that you were the driver..” Can a Deridder personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “We can’t confirm that you were the driver.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like USAA. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a settlement reached post-verdict in 36th Judicial District Court 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 Deridder allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like nerve compression injury. Don’t accept “The bills are higher than reasonable market value.” at face value.
• ❓What should I do if Bluefire Insurance says “We need more documentation.” after my Deridder crash?
  Insurers like Bluefire Insurance often use lines such as “We need more documentation.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like fractured radius or ulna can be life-changing. In Deridder, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a settlement reached post-verdict in 36th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.32M.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Deridder?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “There’s a gap in your medical care.,” 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 settlement reached post-verdict in 36th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.57M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Deridder.
