General Personal Injury FAQs — Hillcrest

• ❓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 case settled during mediation. Our case histories include results such as 929K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Hillcrest.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Hillcrest?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “We’re still evaluating liability with our insured.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Encompass Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a commuter hit in parking garage with elbow dislocation with fracture, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓An adjuster told me “We believe the claim is inflated..” Can a Hillcrest personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “We believe the claim is inflated.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Western National Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a high-value verdict in 149th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Hillcrest allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like chemical burns to face or limbs. Don’t accept “This is the most we’re allowed to offer.” at face value.
• ❓What should I do if Grange Insurance says “We’re still evaluating liability with our insured.” after my Hillcrest crash?
  Insurers like Grange Insurance often use lines such as “We’re still evaluating liability with our insured.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like triquetrum fracture can be life-changing. In Hillcrest, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a case settled during mediation — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.36M.
