General Personal Injury FAQs — Donaldsonville

• ❓An adjuster told me “You saw a chiropractor, not a medical doctor..” Can a Donaldsonville personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You saw a chiropractor, not a medical doctor.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like State Farm. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a jury verdict in 23rd 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 Donaldsonville allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like fracture of the talus. Don’t accept “We need more documentation.” at face value.
• ❓What should I do if GEICO says “We’re still investigating liability.” after my Donaldsonville crash?
  Insurers like GEICO often use lines such as “We’re still investigating liability.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like triquetrum fracture can be life-changing. In Donaldsonville, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a binding arbitration resulted in favorable award — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.38M.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Auto-Owners Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a motorcyclist thrown from bike with rotational ankle fracture, 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 binding arbitration resulted in favorable award. Our case histories include results such as 1.39M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Donaldsonville.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Donaldsonville?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “There are inconsistencies in your account.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
