General Personal Injury FAQs — Odem

• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Odem?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “You didn’t see a specialist.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓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 during jury deliberation. Our case histories include results such as 1.21M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Odem.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Texas Farm Bureau) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a injured carpool passenger with traumatic brain injury, 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 Odem allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like arterial dissection from trauma. Don’t accept “Your injury doesn’t meet our definition of serious.” at face value.
• ❓An adjuster told me “This is the most we’re allowed to offer..” Can a Odem personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “This is the most we’re allowed to offer.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Shelter Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a case resolved through court-supervised mediation and pursue full compensation.
• ❓What should I do if AssuranceAmerica says “You didn’t report the injury immediately.” after my Odem crash?
  Insurers like AssuranceAmerica often use lines such as “You didn’t report the injury immediately.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like ACL/MCL tear can be life-changing. In Odem, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a case resolved during jury deliberation — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.5M.
