General Personal Injury FAQs — Crowley

• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Crowley allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like carotid artery injury. Don’t accept “You didn’t miss enough work to qualify for compensation.” at face value.
• ❓What should I do if Shelter Insurance says “You waited too long to seek treatment.” after my Crowley crash?
  Insurers like Shelter Insurance often use lines such as “You waited too long to seek treatment.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like ulnar nerve entrapment from trauma can be life-changing. In Crowley, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a jury decision in favor of the plaintiff in 18th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 947K.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Crowley?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “The vehicle damage was minor.,” 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., Erie Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a school bus passenger with posterior tibial tendon rupture, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You returned to work too quickly to justify lost wages..” Can a Crowley personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You returned to work too quickly to justify lost wages.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Loya Insurance Group. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a pre-trial settlement in 18th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓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 jury decision in favor of the plaintiff in 18th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.3M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Crowley.
