General Personal Injury FAQs — Fifth Ward

• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Fifth Ward allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like triquetrum fracture. Don’t accept “There’s insufficient evidence of impact severity.” at face value.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Fifth Ward?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “We’re waiting on statements from witnesses.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓An adjuster told me “We don’t believe the treatment was necessary..” Can a Fifth Ward 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 Western National Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a damages awarded in settlement conference and pursue full compensation.
• ❓What should I do if Amica Mutual says “You didn’t notify us within the required time frame.” after my Fifth Ward crash?
  Insurers like Amica Mutual often use lines such as “You didn’t notify us within the required time frame.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like scapula fracture can be life-changing. In Fifth Ward, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a jury awarded damages in 12th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.74M.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Stillwater Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a motorist hit during roadside breakdown with phalangeal 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 jury awarded damages in 12th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 730K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Fifth Ward.
