General Personal Injury FAQs — Alamo Heights

• ❓What should I do if American Strategic Insurance says “You’re not permanently impaired.” after my Alamo Heights crash?
  Insurers like American Strategic Insurance often use lines such as “You’re not permanently impaired.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like tongue laceration and avulsion can be life-changing. In Alamo Heights, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a case resolved through court-supervised mediation — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.87M.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Alamo Heights?
  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.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Alamo Heights allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like thoracic outlet syndrome from trauma. Don’t accept “You returned to work too quickly to justify lost wages.” at face value.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You returned to work too quickly to justify lost wages..” Can a Alamo Heights 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 Westfield Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a pre-trial settlement in 186th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Root Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a person injured by turning vehicle with avulsion 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 case resolved through court-supervised mediation. Our case histories include results such as 2.48M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Alamo Heights.
