General Personal Injury FAQs — Gueydan

• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Progressive) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a victim of distracted driving crash with labral tear (shoulder), we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓What should I do if GEICO says “There are inconsistencies in your account.” after my Gueydan crash?
  Insurers like GEICO often use lines such as “There are inconsistencies in your account.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like tracheal injury can be life-changing. In Gueydan, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a judge’s damages award following bench trial — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.94M.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Gueydan allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like septic arthritis after joint trauma. Don’t accept “The vehicle damage was minor.” at face value.
• ❓An adjuster told me “We’re still investigating liability..” Can a Gueydan personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “We’re still investigating liability.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Westfield Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a seven-figure award granted in 15th 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 judge’s damages award following bench trial. Our case histories include results such as 768K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Gueydan.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Gueydan?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “You saw a chiropractor, not a medical doctor.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
