General Personal Injury FAQs — Des Allemands

• ❓An adjuster told me “You didn’t go to the emergency room..” Can a Des Allemands personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You didn’t go to the emergency room.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Western National Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a out-of-court settlement following litigation and pursue full compensation.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Bristol West) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a victim of distracted driving crash with loss of limb (amputation), we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Des Allemands allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like implantation of pain pump. Don’t accept “We haven’t completed our medical review yet.” at face value.
• ❓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 before trial in 17th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.26M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Des Allemands.
• ❓What should I do if Farmers Insurance says “You didn’t notify us within the required time frame.” after my Des Allemands crash?
  Insurers like Farmers Insurance often use lines such as “You didn’t notify us within the required time frame.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like fractured tibia or fibula can be life-changing. In Des Allemands, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a settlement reached before trial in 17th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.5M.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Des Allemands?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “We can’t confirm that you were the driver.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
