General Personal Injury FAQs — Odessa

• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Odessa allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like use of external fixator for bone injury. Don’t accept “We need to confirm your insurance coverage.” at face value.
• ❓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 Lyft passenger with laryngeal fracture, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓An adjuster told me “This is the most we’re allowed to offer..” Can a Odessa 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 Elephant Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a verdict rendered after trial in 358th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Odessa?
  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 go to the emergency room.,” 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 plaintiff verdict reached after closing arguments. Our case histories include results such as 881K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Odessa.
• ❓What should I do if National General says “You waited too long to seek treatment.” after my Odessa crash?
  Insurers like National General often use lines such as “You waited too long to seek treatment.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like loss of bladder control after spine trauma can be life-changing. In Odessa, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a plaintiff verdict reached after closing arguments — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.15M.
