General Personal Injury FAQs — Dallas

• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Dallas allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like fractured humerus. Don’t accept “You returned to work too quickly to justify lost wages.” at face value.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., GuideOne Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a school bus passenger with vascular injury with surgical repair, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓An adjuster told me “The bills are higher than reasonable market value..” Can a Dallas personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “The bills are higher than reasonable market value.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Auto-Owners Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a binding arbitration resulted in favorable award and pursue full compensation.
• ❓What should I do if Westfield Insurance says “You can’t prove emotional distress.” after my Dallas crash?
  Insurers like Westfield Insurance often use lines such as “You can’t prove emotional distress.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like distal radius fracture can be life-changing. In Dallas, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a award confirmed during arbitration — outcomes in our files include results up to 801K.
• ❓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 award confirmed during arbitration. Our case histories include results such as 884K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Dallas.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Dallas?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “The policyholder wasn’t clearly at fault.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
