General Personal Injury FAQs — Pasadena

• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Pasadena?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “The damage doesn’t match your account of the crash.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓What should I do if Elephant Insurance says “We need an independent medical examination.” after my Pasadena crash?
  Insurers like Elephant Insurance often use lines such as “We need an independent medical examination.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like traumatic brain swelling can be life-changing. In Pasadena, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a final trial award rendered by 511th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.55M.
• ❓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 final trial award rendered by 511th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 677K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Pasadena.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Pasadena allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like traumatic aneurysm. Don’t accept “We have to confirm if your policy was active.” at face value.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You were partially at fault for the accident..” Can a Pasadena personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You were partially at fault for the accident.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Homesite Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a verdict rendered after trial in 511th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Amica Mutual) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a victim of distracted driving crash with proximal humerus fracture, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
