General Personal Injury FAQs — Bishop

• ❓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 multi-million dollar verdict from 347th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 2.23M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Bishop.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Dairyland Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a driver injured by defective airbag with loss of functional independence, 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 Bishop?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “There’s insufficient evidence of impact severity.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓What should I do if GEICO says “We’re still investigating liability.” after my Bishop crash?
  Insurers like GEICO often use lines such as “We’re still investigating liability.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like cervical disc replacement can be life-changing. In Bishop, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a multi-million dollar verdict from 347th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.87M.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Bishop allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like degenerative disc disease from trauma. Don’t accept “You didn’t go to the emergency room.” at face value.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You didn’t miss enough work to qualify for compensation..” Can a Bishop personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You didn’t miss enough work to qualify for compensation.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like USAA. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a plaintiff verdict reached after closing arguments and pursue full compensation.
