General Personal Injury FAQs — Gretna

• ❓An adjuster told me “The treatment timeline doesn’t make sense..” Can a Gretna personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “The treatment timeline doesn’t make sense.,” 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 pre-trial settlement in 24th 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 Gretna allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like laminectomy or discectomy. Don’t accept “We don’t believe the vehicle speed contributed.” at face value.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Gretna?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “We’re still evaluating liability with our insured.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓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 damages awarded in settlement conference. Our case histories include results such as 1.16M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Gretna.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., American National) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a Uber driver with fractured pelvis, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓What should I do if Encompass Insurance says “The photos you submitted aren’t clear.” after my Gretna crash?
  Insurers like Encompass Insurance often use lines such as “The photos you submitted aren’t clear.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like extensor tendon injury can be life-changing. In Gretna, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a damages awarded in settlement conference — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.17M.
