General Personal Injury FAQs — Mansfield

• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., MetLife Auto & Home) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a teen passenger injured in friend’s car with severe concussion, 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 Mansfield?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “The policyholder wasn’t clearly at fault.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓What should I do if GEICO says “We don’t believe the vehicle speed contributed.” after my Mansfield crash?
  Insurers like GEICO often use lines such as “We don’t believe the vehicle speed contributed.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like septic arthritis after joint trauma can be life-changing. In Mansfield, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a jury verdict in 40th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.45M.
• ❓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 jury verdict in 40th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 2.16M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Mansfield.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Mansfield allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like loss of vision from head trauma. Don’t accept “The police report is inconclusive.” at face value.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You’ve already reached maximum medical improvement..” Can a Mansfield 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 Direct Auto Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a jury verdict in 40th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
