General Personal Injury FAQs — Lakeside

• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., GEICO) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a electric scooter rider with cervical disc replacement, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓An adjuster told me “We can’t verify your medical provider’s credentials..” Can a Lakeside personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “We can’t verify your medical provider’s credentials.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Horace Mann. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a jury decision in favor of the plaintiff in 343rd 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 Lakeside allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like intra-articular knee fracture. Don’t accept “We believe the claim is inflated.” at face value.
• ❓What should I do if The General says “You didn’t provide a recorded statement.” after my Lakeside crash?
  Insurers like The General often use lines such as “You didn’t provide a recorded statement.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like laryngeal fracture can be life-changing. In Lakeside, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a award confirmed during arbitration — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.78M.
• ❓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 award confirmed during arbitration. Our case histories include results such as 742K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Lakeside.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Lakeside?
  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 miss enough work to qualify for compensation.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
