General Personal Injury FAQs — Marion

• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Marion allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like labral tear (shoulder). Don’t accept “You didn’t report the injury immediately.” 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 jury award issued in civil trial at 25th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.93M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Marion.
• ❓An adjuster told me “The treatment timeline doesn’t make sense..” Can a Marion personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “The treatment timeline doesn’t make sense.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like American Strategic Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a judge’s damages award following bench trial and pursue full compensation.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., CSAA Insurance Group) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a person pinned between vehicles with closed head injury, 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 Marion?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “Our evaluation doesn’t match your claim.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓What should I do if Branch Insurance says “You didn’t provide a recorded statement.” after my Marion crash?
  Insurers like Branch Insurance often use lines such as “You didn’t provide a recorded statement.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like fractured humerus can be life-changing. In Marion, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a jury award issued in civil trial at 25th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 900K.
