General Personal Injury FAQs — Helotes

• ❓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 structured settlement agreement reached. Our case histories include results such as 1.47M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Helotes.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Helotes allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like elbow dislocation with fracture. Don’t accept “You’re not permanently impaired.” at face value.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., American Family Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a motorcyclist with sacroiliac joint disruption, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Helotes?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “You didn’t follow doctor’s orders.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓What should I do if Shelter Insurance says “There’s a question about your seatbelt use.” after my Helotes crash?
  Insurers like Shelter Insurance often use lines such as “There’s a question about your seatbelt use.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like implantation of pain pump can be life-changing. In Helotes, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a structured settlement agreement reached — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.88M.
• ❓An adjuster told me “The at-fault driver’s policy may be void..” Can a Helotes personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “The at-fault driver’s policy may be void.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Progressive. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a jury verdict in 186th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
