General Personal Injury FAQs — Athens

• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Elephant Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a pedestrian hit while crossing at green light with Galeazzi fracture, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Athens?
  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 verify your medical provider’s credentials.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓An adjuster told me “We have to confirm if your policy was active..” Can a Athens personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “We have to confirm if your policy was active.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like GuideOne Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a jury awarded damages in 173rd Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓What should I do if Root Insurance says “You didn’t follow doctor’s orders.” after my Athens crash?
  Insurers like Root Insurance often use lines such as “You didn’t follow doctor’s orders.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like fractured tibia or fibula can be life-changing. In Athens, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a jury decision in favor of the plaintiff in 173rd Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 691K.
• ❓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 jury decision in favor of the plaintiff in 173rd Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 801K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Athens.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Athens allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like herniated disc. Don’t accept “The at-fault driver’s policy may be void.” at face value.
