General Personal Injury FAQs — Pattison

• ❓An adjuster told me “We need an independent medical examination..” Can a Pattison personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “We need an independent medical examination.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Branch Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a case resolved during jury deliberation and pursue full compensation.
• ❓What should I do if USAA says “The police report is inconclusive.” after my Pattison crash?
  Insurers like USAA often use lines such as “The police report is inconclusive.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like metacarpal fracture can be life-changing. In Pattison, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a settlement reached before trial in 506th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.1M.
• ❓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 reached before trial in 506th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.5M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Pattison.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Pattison?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “The policyholder wasn’t clearly at fault.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Pattison allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like hip replacement due to trauma. Don’t accept “We need to confirm your insurance coverage.” at face value.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Foremost Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a dog walker struck in neighborhood with sacroiliac joint disruption, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
