General Personal Injury FAQs — Jefferson

• ❓An adjuster told me “This is the most we’re allowed to offer..” Can a Jefferson personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “This is the most we’re allowed to offer.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Amica Mutual. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a final judgment entered by 24th 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 binding arbitration resulted in favorable award. Our case histories include results such as 768K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Jefferson.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Penn National Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a delivery driver with complex regional pain syndrome, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Jefferson allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like rib cage trauma with internal injury. Don’t accept “We’re waiting on a supervisor’s approval.” at face value.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Jefferson?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “There’s a gap in your medical care.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓What should I do if American Strategic Insurance says “The at-fault driver’s policy may be void.” after my Jefferson crash?
  Insurers like American Strategic Insurance often use lines such as “The at-fault driver’s policy may be void.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like ankle fracture can be life-changing. In Jefferson, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a binding arbitration resulted in favorable award — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.2M.
