General Personal Injury FAQs — Palisades

• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Aspire General) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a child injured in daycare van crash with metacarpal fracture, 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 Palisades allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like scarring after reconstructive surgery. Don’t accept “The photos you submitted aren’t clear.” 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 settlement approved in 181st Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 2.01M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Palisades.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Palisades?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “There’s insufficient evidence of impact severity.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓An adjuster told me “Your injuries were pre-existing..” Can a Palisades personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “Your injuries were pre-existing.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like MAPFRE Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a jury returned a favorable verdict in 181st Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓What should I do if MAPFRE Insurance says “The bills are higher than reasonable market value.” after my Palisades crash?
  Insurers like MAPFRE Insurance often use lines such as “The bills are higher than reasonable market value.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like posterior interosseous nerve injury can be life-changing. In Palisades, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a settlement approved in 181st Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 782K.
