General Personal Injury FAQs — East Hodge

• ❓An adjuster told me “You didn’t follow doctor’s orders..” Can a East Hodge personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You didn’t follow doctor’s orders.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Elephant Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a case concluded with settlement in 2nd Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓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 2nd Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.18M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in East Hodge.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in East Hodge allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like Lisfranc injury. Don’t accept “We haven’t completed our medical review yet.” at face value.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., National General) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a driver rear-ended at red light with plantar fascia rupture, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in East Hodge?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “You’ve already reached maximum medical improvement.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓What should I do if Horace Mann says “The bills are higher than reasonable market value.” after my East Hodge crash?
  Insurers like Horace Mann often use lines such as “The bills are higher than reasonable market value.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like orbital blowout fracture can be life-changing. In East Hodge, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a settlement reached post-verdict in 2nd Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.46M.
