General Personal Injury FAQs — Austin

• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Austin?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “We don’t believe the treatment was necessary.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You didn’t follow doctor’s orders..” Can a Austin personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You didn’t follow doctor’s orders.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Stillwater Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a settlement reached post-verdict in 22nd Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Direct Auto Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a restaurant delivery driver with spinal cord injury, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓What should I do if Farmers Insurance says “We have to confirm if your policy was active.” after my Austin crash?
  Insurers like Farmers Insurance often use lines such as “We have to confirm if your policy was active.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like neurogenic bladder can be life-changing. In Austin, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a pre-trial settlement in 22nd Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.43M.
• ❓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 pre-trial settlement in 22nd Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 2.41M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Austin.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Austin allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like cubital tunnel syndrome post-trauma. Don’t accept “We need an independent medical examination.” at face value.
