General Personal Injury FAQs — Pitkin

• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Pitkin 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 “Your injuries were pre-existing.” at face value.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Pitkin?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “You waited too long to seek treatment.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓What should I do if Western National Insurance says “The damage doesn’t match your account of the crash.” after my Pitkin crash?
  Insurers like Western National Insurance often use lines such as “The damage doesn’t match your account of the crash.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like posterior interosseous nerve injury can be life-changing. In Pitkin, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a high-value verdict in 30th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 881K.
• ❓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 high-value verdict in 30th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 657K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Pitkin.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Stillwater Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a Lyft passenger with Monteggia fracture, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓An adjuster told me “The damage doesn’t match your account of the crash..” Can a Pitkin personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “The damage doesn’t match your account of the crash.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like ACCC Insurance Company. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a settlement reached before trial in 30th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
