General Personal Injury FAQs — Pleasant Hill

• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Pleasant Hill?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “The treatment timeline doesn’t make sense.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓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 jury awarded damages in 258th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.95M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Pleasant Hill.
• ❓What should I do if Penn National Insurance says “The photos you submitted aren’t clear.” after my Pleasant Hill crash?
  Insurers like Penn National Insurance often use lines such as “The photos you submitted aren’t clear.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like smoke inhalation injuries can be life-changing. In Pleasant Hill, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a jury awarded damages in 258th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.49M.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You didn’t report the injury immediately..” Can a Pleasant Hill personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You didn’t report the injury immediately.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like American Strategic Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a final trial award rendered by 258th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Clearcover) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a motorcyclist with paralysis (partial or complete), 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 Pleasant Hill allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like loss of limb (amputation). Don’t accept “We’re waiting on a supervisor’s approval.” at face value.
