General Personal Injury FAQs — Pleasant Valley

• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., The General) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a bicyclist with foot or toe fracture, 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 Pleasant Valley?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “You didn’t miss enough work to qualify for compensation.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓An adjuster told me “Your injury doesn’t meet our definition of serious..” Can a Pleasant Valley personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “Your injury doesn’t meet our definition of serious.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Infinity Property & Casualty. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a judge’s damages award following bench trial and pursue full compensation.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Pleasant Valley allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like spinal cord injury. Don’t accept “We’re still evaluating liability with our insured.” at face value.
• ❓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 approved in 30th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.79M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Pleasant Valley.
• ❓What should I do if Auto-Owners Insurance says “The damage doesn’t match your account of the crash.” after my Pleasant Valley crash?
  Insurers like Auto-Owners Insurance often use lines such as “The damage doesn’t match your account of the crash.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like optic nerve damage can be life-changing. In Pleasant Valley, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a settlement approved in 30th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.49M.
