General Personal Injury FAQs — Westlake

• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Westlake allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like hemothorax. Don’t accept “The police report is inconclusive.” at face value.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Westlake?
  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 notify us within the required time frame.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓What should I do if National General says “We have to confirm if your policy was active.” after my Westlake crash?
  Insurers like National General often use lines such as “We have to confirm if your policy was active.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like pancreatic trauma can be life-changing. In Westlake, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a award granted by judge in 14th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.42M.
• ❓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 granted by judge in 14th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 996K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Westlake.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You didn’t provide a recorded statement..” Can a Westlake personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You didn’t provide a recorded statement.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Alpha Property & Casualty. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a settlement reached before trial in 14th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., American Family Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a person pinned between vehicles with dental fractures, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
