General Personal Injury FAQs — Mount Lebanon

• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Mount Lebanon allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like chemical burns to face or limbs. Don’t accept “We need more documentation.” at face value.
• ❓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 award granted by judge in 2nd Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 2.08M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Mount Lebanon.
• ❓An adjuster told me “Your injuries were pre-existing..” Can a Mount Lebanon personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “Your injuries were pre-existing.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Wawanesa Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a final judgment entered by 2nd Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Grange Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a teen driver with nasal bone fracture, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓What should I do if American National says “We don’t believe the treatment was necessary.” after my Mount Lebanon crash?
  Insurers like American National often use lines such as “We don’t believe the treatment was necessary.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like posterior hip dislocation can be life-changing. In Mount Lebanon, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a award granted by judge in 2nd Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.44M.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Mount Lebanon?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “There are inconsistencies in your account.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
