General Personal Injury FAQs — Lafayette

• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Cure Auto Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a motorist hit during roadside breakdown with chemical burns to face or limbs, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓An adjuster told me “We’re waiting on a supervisor’s approval..” Can a Lafayette personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “We’re waiting on a supervisor’s approval.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like State Farm. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a case concluded with settlement in 28th 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 Lafayette allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like orbital nerve damage. Don’t accept “You didn’t see a specialist.” at face value.
• ❓What should I do if The General says “We’re waiting on a supervisor’s approval.” after my Lafayette crash?
  Insurers like The General often use lines such as “We’re waiting on a supervisor’s approval.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like arterial dissection from trauma can be life-changing. In Lafayette, 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 2.19M.
• ❓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 1.77M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Lafayette.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Lafayette?
  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.
