General Personal Injury FAQs — Booker

• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Booker?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “The treatment timeline doesn’t make sense.,” 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 Booker allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like ulnar nerve entrapment from trauma. Don’t accept “We can’t verify your medical provider’s credentials.” at face value.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Shelter Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a nursing home resident with degenerative changes from trauma, 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 pre-trial settlement in 31st Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 2.2M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Booker.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You didn’t miss enough work to qualify for compensation..” Can a Booker 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 Travelers. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a jury decision in favor of the plaintiff in 31st Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓What should I do if Travelers says “The police report is inconclusive.” after my Booker crash?
  Insurers like Travelers often use lines such as “The police report is inconclusive.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like acetabular fracture can be life-changing. In Booker, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a pre-trial settlement in 31st Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.44M.
