General Personal Injury FAQs — Bristol

• ❓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 out-of-court settlement following litigation. Our case histories include results such as 1.53M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Bristol.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Bristol allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like loss of vision from head trauma. Don’t accept “The vehicle damage was minor.” at face value.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Bristol?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “You returned to work too quickly to justify lost wages.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓An adjuster told me “Our evaluation doesn’t match your claim..” Can a Bristol personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “Our evaluation doesn’t match your claim.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Grange Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a structured settlement agreement reached and pursue full compensation.
• ❓What should I do if State Farm says “You didn’t provide a recorded statement.” after my Bristol crash?
  Insurers like State Farm often use lines such as “You didn’t provide a recorded statement.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like splenic rupture can be life-changing. In Bristol, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a out-of-court settlement following litigation — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.28M.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., MAPFRE Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a passenger with median nerve compression injury, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
