General Personal Injury FAQs — Iola

• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Iola allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like comminuted fractures. Don’t accept “We haven’t completed our medical review yet.” at face value.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Root Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a pedestrian hit while crossing at green light with spinal cord injury, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓An adjuster told me “The policyholder wasn’t clearly at fault..” Can a Iola personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “The policyholder wasn’t clearly at fault.,” 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 award confirmed during arbitration and pursue full compensation.
• ❓What should I do if Safeco says “You didn’t follow doctor’s orders.” after my Iola crash?
  Insurers like Safeco often use lines such as “You didn’t follow doctor’s orders.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like degenerative changes from trauma can be life-changing. In Iola, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a damages awarded in settlement conference — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.34M.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Iola?
  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.
• ❓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 damages awarded in settlement conference. Our case histories include results such as 758K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Iola.
