General Personal Injury FAQs — Ackerly

• ❓An adjuster told me “There’s a question about your seatbelt use..” Can a Ackerly personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “There’s a question about your seatbelt use.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like GEICO. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a judge’s damages award following bench trial and pursue full compensation.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., The General) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a bicyclist with laryngeal fracture, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓What should I do if Liberty Mutual says “You didn’t notify us within the required time frame.” after my Ackerly crash?
  Insurers like Liberty Mutual often use lines such as “You didn’t notify us within the required time frame.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like scarring after reconstructive surgery can be life-changing. In Ackerly, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a high-value verdict in 106th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.46M.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Ackerly allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like multilevel spinal fracture. Don’t accept “We have to confirm if your policy was active.” at face value.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Ackerly?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “We can’t confirm that you were the driver.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓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 high-value verdict in 106th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 710K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Ackerly.
