General Personal Injury FAQs — Greenwood

• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Greenwood?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “You didn’t miss enough work to qualify for compensation.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Greenwood allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like complex hand laceration with tendon damage. Don’t accept “We need an independent medical examination.” 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 case settled during mediation. Our case histories include results such as 2.49M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Greenwood.
• ❓What should I do if Cure Auto Insurance says “You didn’t notify us within the required time frame.” after my Greenwood crash?
  Insurers like Cure Auto Insurance often use lines such as “You didn’t notify us within the required time frame.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like lumbar spine injury can be life-changing. In Greenwood, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a case settled during mediation — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.14M.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You saw a chiropractor, not a medical doctor..” Can a Greenwood 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 Safeco. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a award granted by judge in 1st Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Kemper Corporation) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a agriculture worker hit by machinery with closed pelvic ring fracture, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
