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 paralysis (partial or complete). Don’t accept “We can’t confirm that you were the driver.” at face value.
• ❓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 concluded with settlement in 161st Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.51M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Odessa.
• ❓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 miss enough work to qualify for compensation.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓What should I do if Progressive says “We can’t verify your medical provider’s credentials.” after my Odessa crash?
  Insurers like Progressive often use lines such as “We can’t verify your medical provider’s credentials.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like comminuted fractures can be life-changing. In Odessa, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a case concluded with settlement in 161st Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 710K.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Western National Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a mail carrier hit in residential area with severe hand crush injury, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓An adjuster told me “The police report is inconclusive..” Can a Odessa personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “The police report is inconclusive.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Texas Farm Bureau. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a case settled during mediation and pursue full compensation.
