General Personal Injury FAQs — Martindale

• ❓An adjuster told me “We’re waiting on statements from witnesses..” Can a Martindale personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “We’re waiting on statements from witnesses.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Chubb. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a case settled during mediation and pursue full compensation.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Martindale?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “We’re still investigating liability.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Infinity Property & Casualty) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a person injured by turning vehicle with perilymph fistula from head trauma, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓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 trial award rendered by 207th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.97M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Martindale.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Martindale allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like proximal humerus fracture. Don’t accept “This is the most we’re allowed to offer.” at face value.
• ❓What should I do if Shelter Insurance says “Our evaluation doesn’t match your claim.” after my Martindale crash?
  Insurers like Shelter Insurance often use lines such as “Our evaluation doesn’t match your claim.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like hemothorax can be life-changing. In Martindale, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a final trial award rendered by 207th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.44M.
