General Personal Injury FAQs — Ponchatoula

• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Bristol West) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a driver struck by drunk driver with nerve graft or neurolysis procedure, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓An adjuster told me “We need to confirm your insurance coverage..” Can a Ponchatoula personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “We need to confirm your insurance coverage.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Root Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a settlement reached post-verdict in 21st Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Ponchatoula?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “You were partially at fault for the accident.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓What should I do if American National says “You can’t prove emotional distress.” after my Ponchatoula crash?
  Insurers like American National often use lines such as “You can’t prove emotional distress.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like pelvic ring disruption can be life-changing. In Ponchatoula, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a settlement reached post-verdict in 21st Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.83M.
• ❓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 21st Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 900K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Ponchatoula.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Ponchatoula allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like tracheal injury. Don’t accept “We haven’t received your bills yet.” at face value.
