General Personal Injury FAQs — Venice

• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Farmers Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a landscaper struck by passing car with acetabular fracture, 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 settlement approved in 25th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 677K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Venice.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Venice?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “We need more documentation.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓What should I do if State Farm says “You were partially at fault for the accident.” after my Venice crash?
  Insurers like State Farm often use lines such as “You were partially at fault for the accident.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like knee replacement after accident can be life-changing. In Venice, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a settlement approved in 25th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.5M.
• ❓An adjuster told me “The police report is inconclusive..” Can a Venice personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “The police report is inconclusive.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Grange Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a high-value verdict in 25th 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 Venice allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like midfoot dislocation. Don’t accept “We can’t verify your medical provider’s credentials.” at face value.
