General Personal Injury FAQs — Mansfield

• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Mansfield?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “The provider overcharged for services.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You returned to work too quickly to justify lost wages..” Can a Mansfield personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You returned to work too quickly to justify lost wages.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like GEICO. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a structured settlement agreement reached 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 Mansfield allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like perilymph fistula from head trauma. Don’t accept “The provider overcharged for services.” at face value.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Encompass Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a restaurant delivery driver with implantation of pain pump, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓What should I do if USAA says “The medical records aren’t sufficient.” after my Mansfield crash?
  Insurers like USAA often use lines such as “The medical records aren’t sufficient.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like traumatic brain injury can be life-changing. In Mansfield, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a settlement reached post-verdict in 42nd Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.77M.
• ❓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 settlement reached post-verdict in 42nd Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 746K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Mansfield.
