General Personal Injury FAQs — Tangipahoa

• ❓An adjuster told me “You didn’t report the injury immediately..” Can a Tangipahoa personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You didn’t report the injury immediately.,” 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 jury award issued in civil trial at 21st Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Tangipahoa allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like cerebral contusion. Don’t accept “We need an independent medical examination.” 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 jury award issued in civil trial at 21st Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.79M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Tangipahoa.
• ❓What should I do if Liberty Mutual says “We’re waiting on a supervisor’s approval.” after my Tangipahoa crash?
  Insurers like Liberty Mutual often use lines such as “We’re waiting on a supervisor’s approval.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like knee replacement after accident can be life-changing. In Tangipahoa, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a jury award issued in civil trial at 21st Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.19M.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Horace Mann) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a vehicle occupant hit during police chase with torn biceps tendon, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Tangipahoa?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “There’s insufficient evidence of impact severity.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
