General Personal Injury FAQs — Scott

• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Scott allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like jaw fracture (mandibular). Don’t accept “You can’t prove emotional distress.” at face value.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., GEICO) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a commercial van driver with sacroiliac joint disruption, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓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 case resolved during jury deliberation. Our case histories include results such as 996K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Scott.
• ❓An adjuster told me “The provider overcharged for services..” Can a Scott personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “The provider overcharged for services.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like MetLife Auto & Home. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a settlement reached before trial in 28th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Scott?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “The damage doesn’t match your account of the crash.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓What should I do if Bristol West Insurance Group says “We need to confirm your insurance coverage.” after my Scott crash?
  Insurers like Bristol West Insurance Group often use lines such as “We need to confirm your insurance coverage.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like triquetrum fracture can be life-changing. In Scott, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a case resolved during jury deliberation — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.43M.
