General Personal Injury FAQs — North Cleveland

• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in North Cleveland?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “We believe the claim is inflated.,” 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., Bristol West) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a driver struck by drunk driver with retinal hemorrhage from head trauma, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in North Cleveland allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like triquetrum fracture. Don’t accept “The bills are higher than reasonable market value.” at face value.
• ❓An adjuster told me “There’s a gap in your medical care..” Can a North Cleveland personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “There’s a gap in your medical care.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Erie Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a jury returned a favorable verdict in 75th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓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 compensation awarded during mediation process. Our case histories include results such as 2.21M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in North Cleveland.
• ❓What should I do if Western National Insurance says “You can’t prove emotional distress.” after my North Cleveland crash?
  Insurers like Western National Insurance often use lines such as “You can’t prove emotional distress.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like severe facial disfigurement can be life-changing. In North Cleveland, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a compensation awarded during mediation process — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.39M.
