General Personal Injury FAQs — Hitchcock

• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Hitchcock?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “The provider overcharged for services.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓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 resolved during jury deliberation. Our case histories include results such as 1.25M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Hitchcock.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You’ve already reached maximum medical improvement..” Can a Hitchcock personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You’ve already reached maximum medical improvement.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Travelers. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a case settled during mediation 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 Hitchcock allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like cranial fracture with cerebrospinal fluid leak. Don’t accept “We’re still evaluating liability with our insured.” at face value.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., GuideOne Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a pedestrian hit while crossing at green light with dental fractures, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓What should I do if Elephant Insurance says “You didn’t go to the emergency room.” after my Hitchcock crash?
  Insurers like Elephant Insurance often use lines such as “You didn’t go to the emergency room.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like skull fracture can be life-changing. In Hitchcock, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a case resolved during jury deliberation — outcomes in our files include results up to 781K.
