General Personal Injury FAQs — Fruitvale

• ❓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 1.38M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Fruitvale.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Farmers Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a school bus passenger with posterior hip dislocation, 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 Fruitvale allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like vertebral fracture. Don’t accept “You waited too long to seek treatment.” at face value.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Fruitvale?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “We’re waiting on statements from witnesses.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓What should I do if Alpha Property & Casualty says “The bills are higher than reasonable market value.” after my Fruitvale crash?
  Insurers like Alpha Property & Casualty often use lines such as “The bills are higher than reasonable market value.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like labral tear (shoulder) can be life-changing. In Fruitvale, 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 746K.
• ❓An adjuster told me “Your injuries were pre-existing..” Can a Fruitvale personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “Your injuries were pre-existing.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like The General. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a out-of-court settlement following litigation and pursue full compensation.
