General Personal Injury FAQs — Eureka

• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Eureka?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “We can’t confirm that you were the driver.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Eureka allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like esophageal tear. Don’t accept “We need an independent medical examination.” at face value.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Infinity Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a Uber driver with Galeazzi fracture, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓What should I do if GEICO says “We have to confirm if your policy was active.” after my Eureka crash?
  Insurers like GEICO often use lines such as “We have to confirm if your policy was active.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like spinal fusion surgery can be life-changing. In Eureka, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a damages awarded in settlement conference — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.3M.
• ❓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 damages awarded in settlement conference. Our case histories include results such as 1.22M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Eureka.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You didn’t miss enough work to qualify for compensation..” Can a Eureka personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You didn’t miss enough work to qualify for compensation.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Wawanesa Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a final judgment entered by 13th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
