General Personal Injury FAQs — 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 smoke inhalation injuries. Don’t accept “There are inconsistencies in your account.” at face value.
• ❓An adjuster told me “The provider overcharged for services..” Can a Pasadena personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “The provider overcharged for services.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Stillwater Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a jury decision in favor of the plaintiff in 376th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓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 resolved through court-supervised mediation. Our case histories include results such as 1.36M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Pasadena.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Safe Auto Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a family member of a wrongful death victim with implantation of pain pump, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓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 “Your injury doesn’t meet our definition of serious.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓What should I do if Bristol West Insurance Group says “We need more documentation.” after my Pasadena crash?
  Insurers like Bristol West Insurance Group often use lines such as “We need more documentation.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like burns (2nd or 3rd degree) can be life-changing. In Pasadena, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a case resolved through court-supervised mediation — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.13M.
