General Personal Injury FAQs — Live Oak

• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Live Oak 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 “You can’t prove emotional distress.” at face value.
• ❓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 final judgment entered by 187th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.96M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Live Oak.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You didn’t follow doctor’s orders..” Can a Live Oak personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You didn’t follow doctor’s orders.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Mercury Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a settlement approved in 187th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., MAPFRE Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a passenger in company vehicle with cubital tunnel syndrome post-trauma, 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 Live Oak?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “There’s a gap in your medical care.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓What should I do if Esurance says “You can’t prove emotional distress.” after my Live Oak crash?
  Insurers like Esurance often use lines such as “You can’t prove emotional distress.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like scaphoid fracture can be life-changing. In Live Oak, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a final judgment entered by 187th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.93M.
