General Personal Injury FAQs — Timberlane

• ❓What should I do if Auto-Owners Insurance says “There’s a gap in your medical care.” after my Timberlane crash?
  Insurers like Auto-Owners Insurance often use lines such as “There’s a gap in your medical care.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like jaw fracture (mandibular) can be life-changing. In Timberlane, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a award confirmed during arbitration — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.01M.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Timberlane allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like metacarpal fracture. Don’t accept “The vehicle damage was minor.” at face value.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Timberlane?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “We don’t believe the treatment was necessary.,” 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., MetLife Auto & Home) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a driver hit during lane change with rotator cuff tear, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You returned to work too quickly to justify lost wages..” Can a Timberlane personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You returned to work too quickly to justify lost wages.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Safeco. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a plaintiff verdict reached after closing arguments and pursue full compensation.
• ❓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 award confirmed during arbitration. Our case histories include results such as 714K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Timberlane.
