General Personal Injury FAQs — Merrydale

• ❓What should I do if Progressive says “You returned to work too quickly to justify lost wages.” after my Merrydale crash?
  Insurers like Progressive often use lines such as “You returned to work too quickly to justify lost wages.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like perilymph fistula from head trauma can be life-changing. In Merrydale, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a compensation awarded during mediation process — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.03M.
• ❓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 compensation awarded during mediation process. Our case histories include results such as 714K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Merrydale.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Merrydale?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “You can’t prove emotional distress.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Merrydale allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like fusion of multiple spinal levels. Don’t accept “There’s insufficient evidence of impact severity.” at face value.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You waited too long to seek treatment..” Can a Merrydale personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You waited too long to seek treatment.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Clearcover. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a structured settlement agreement reached and pursue full compensation.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Travelers) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a child struck exiting school bus with ulnar nerve entrapment from trauma, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
