General Personal Injury FAQs — Dumas

• ❓An adjuster told me “We can’t confirm that you were the driver..” Can a Dumas personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “We can’t confirm that you were the driver.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like MetLife Auto & Home. 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 Encompass Insurance says “The treatment timeline doesn’t make sense.” after my Dumas crash?
  Insurers like Encompass Insurance often use lines such as “The treatment timeline doesn’t make sense.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like cranial fracture with cerebrospinal fluid leak can be life-changing. In Dumas, 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 996K.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Dumas?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “You waited too long to seek treatment.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓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 2.32M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Dumas.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Elephant Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a passenger in rollover crash with vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty, 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 Dumas allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like smoke inhalation injuries. Don’t accept “This is the most we’re allowed to offer.” at face value.
