General Personal Injury FAQs — Cleveland

• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Cleveland allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like traumatic arterial thrombosis. Don’t accept “We have to confirm if your policy was active.” at face value.
• ❓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 case resolved through court-supervised mediation. Our case histories include results such as 1.8M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Cleveland.
• ❓An adjuster told me “Our evaluation doesn’t match your claim..” Can a Cleveland 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 Progressive. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a case settled during mediation and pursue full compensation.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Western National Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a passenger in rear-end collision with traumatic brain swelling, 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 Cleveland?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “We’re waiting on a supervisor’s approval.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓What should I do if Farmers Insurance says “We don’t believe the treatment was necessary.” after my Cleveland crash?
  Insurers like Farmers Insurance often use lines such as “We don’t believe the treatment was necessary.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty can be life-changing. In Cleveland, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a case resolved through court-supervised mediation — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.37M.
