General Personal Injury FAQs — Mercedes

• ❓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 case resolved through court-supervised mediation. Our case histories include results such as 1.3M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Mercedes.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Mercedes allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like posterior tibial tendon rupture. Don’t accept “The vehicle damage was minor.” at face value.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Patriot Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a dog walker struck in neighborhood with loss of functional independence, 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 Mercedes?
  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 coverage issue we’re reviewing.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓What should I do if GEICO says “We need to confirm your insurance coverage.” after my Mercedes crash?
  Insurers like GEICO often use lines such as “We need to confirm your insurance coverage.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like fasciotomy for compartment syndrome can be life-changing. In Mercedes, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a case resolved through court-supervised mediation — outcomes in our files include results up to 900K.
• ❓An adjuster told me “The bills are higher than reasonable market value..” Can a Mercedes personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “The bills are higher than reasonable market value.,” 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 pre-trial settlement in 476th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
