General Personal Injury FAQs — East Bernard

• ❓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 judge’s damages award following bench trial. Our case histories include results such as 996K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in East Bernard.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in East Bernard?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “The damage doesn’t match your account of the crash.,” 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., American Strategic Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a elderly driver with severe hand crush injury, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓What should I do if State Farm says “The medical records aren’t sufficient.” after my East Bernard crash?
  Insurers like State Farm often use lines such as “The medical records aren’t sufficient.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like thoracic outlet syndrome from trauma can be life-changing. In East Bernard, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a judge’s damages award following bench trial — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.41M.
• ❓An adjuster told me “There’s a question about your seatbelt use..” Can a East Bernard personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “There’s a question about your seatbelt use.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Nationwide. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a settlement secured after expert testimony in 23rd Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in East Bernard allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like fracture of the talus. Don’t accept “You didn’t notify us within the required time frame.” at face value.
