General Personal Injury FAQs — Baileys Prairie

• ❓An adjuster told me “The vehicle damage was minor..” Can a Baileys Prairie personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “The vehicle damage was minor.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Bristol West. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a damages awarded in settlement conference and pursue full compensation.
• ❓What should I do if Direct Auto Insurance says “We’re still evaluating liability with our insured.” after my Baileys Prairie crash?
  Insurers like Direct Auto Insurance often use lines such as “We’re still evaluating liability with our insured.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like facial nerve paralysis can be life-changing. In Baileys Prairie, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a settlement reached post-verdict in 149th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.38M.
• ❓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 settlement reached post-verdict in 149th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.14M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Baileys Prairie.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Baileys Prairie?
  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 vehicle speed contributed.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Farmers Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a senior citizen hit in grocery lot with hemothorax, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Baileys Prairie allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like complex regional pain syndrome. Don’t accept “The collision was too minor to cause injury.” at face value.
