General Personal Injury FAQs — St Gabriel

• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in St Gabriel allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like injury requiring bone grafting. Don’t accept “The treatment timeline doesn’t make sense.” at face value.
• ❓What should I do if Branch Insurance says “We haven’t completed our medical review yet.” after my St Gabriel crash?
  Insurers like Branch Insurance often use lines such as “We haven’t completed our medical review yet.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like quadriplegia can be life-changing. In St Gabriel, 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 2.3M.
• ❓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 2.3M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in St Gabriel.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You didn’t go to the emergency room..” Can a St Gabriel personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You didn’t go to the emergency room.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Stillwater Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a settlement reached post-verdict in 18th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in St Gabriel?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “You didn’t see a specialist.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓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 landscaper struck by passing car with tethered spinal cord syndrome, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
