General Personal Injury FAQs — Desoto

• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Desoto?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “You’ve already reached maximum medical improvement.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓What should I do if Branch Insurance says “You can’t prove emotional distress.” after my Desoto crash?
  Insurers like Branch Insurance often use lines such as “You can’t prove emotional distress.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like pancreatic trauma can be life-changing. In Desoto, 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 1.79M.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Root Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a pedestrian hit while crossing at green light with septic arthritis after joint trauma, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Desoto allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like spinal cord injury. Don’t accept “We can’t verify your medical provider’s credentials.” at face value.
• ❓An adjuster told me “This is the most we’re allowed to offer..” Can a Desoto personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “This is the most we’re allowed to offer.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like USAA. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a case resolved through court-supervised mediation 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 out-of-court settlement following litigation. Our case histories include results such as 775K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Desoto.
