General Personal Injury FAQs — 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 “Your injuries were pre-existing.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓An adjuster told me “The at-fault driver’s policy may be void..” Can a Palisades personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “The at-fault driver’s policy may be void.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Liberty Mutual. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a final judgment entered by 222nd Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓What should I do if Bristol West Insurance Group says “You returned to work too quickly to justify lost wages.” after my Palisades crash?
  Insurers like Bristol West Insurance Group often use lines such as “You returned to work too quickly to justify lost wages.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like traumatic aneurysm can be life-changing. In Palisades, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a pre-trial settlement in 222nd Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.17M.
• ❓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 neurogenic bladder. Don’t accept “The policyholder wasn’t clearly at fault.” at face value.
• ❓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 passenger in company vehicle with internal bleeding (abdominal), we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓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 pre-trial settlement in 222nd Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.74M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Palisades.
