General Personal Injury FAQs — Meridian

• ❓An adjuster told me “The policyholder wasn’t clearly at fault..” Can a Meridian personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “The policyholder wasn’t clearly at fault.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Westfield Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a plaintiff verdict reached after closing arguments 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 family member of a wrongful death victim with abdominal compartment syndrome, 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 pre-trial settlement in 220th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 900K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Meridian.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Meridian?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “We can’t verify your medical provider’s credentials.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Meridian allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like closed head injury. Don’t accept “We need more documentation.” at face value.
• ❓What should I do if GEICO says “We can’t verify your medical provider’s credentials.” after my Meridian crash?
  Insurers like GEICO often use lines such as “We can’t verify your medical provider’s credentials.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like dental fractures can be life-changing. In Meridian, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a pre-trial settlement in 220th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.29M.
