General Personal Injury FAQs — Gilmer

• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Gilmer?
  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.
• ❓An adjuster told me “There are inconsistencies in your account..” Can a Gilmer personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “There are inconsistencies in your account.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Safe Auto Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a jury award issued in civil trial at 115th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Chubb) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a driver hit at railroad crossing with dislocated patella, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓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 jury award issued in civil trial at 115th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.34M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Gilmer.
• ❓What should I do if Elephant Insurance says “The policyholder wasn’t clearly at fault.” after my Gilmer crash?
  Insurers like Elephant Insurance often use lines such as “The policyholder wasn’t clearly at fault.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like hip dislocation can be life-changing. In Gilmer, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a jury award issued in civil trial at 115th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.14M.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Gilmer allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like brain herniation. Don’t accept “You can’t prove emotional distress.” at face value.
