General Personal Injury FAQs — Hale Center

• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Hale Center allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like complex regional pain syndrome. Don’t accept “We’re waiting on statements from witnesses.” at face value.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Hale Center?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “The bills are higher than reasonable market value.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓What should I do if Shelter Insurance says “You’ve already reached maximum medical improvement.” after my Hale Center crash?
  Insurers like Shelter Insurance often use lines such as “You’ve already reached maximum medical improvement.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like pelvic ring disruption can be life-changing. In Hale Center, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a settlement reached before trial in 242nd Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 691K.
• ❓An adjuster told me “We haven’t received your bills yet..” Can a Hale Center personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “We haven’t received your bills yet.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Penn National Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a six-figure settlement finalized in 242nd Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓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 settlement reached before trial in 242nd Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.52M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Hale Center.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Mercury Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a construction worker hit on site with shoulder dislocation, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
