General Personal Injury FAQs — Pleasanton

• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Auto-Owners Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a school bus passenger with mandibular nerve injury, 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 Pleasanton?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “We can’t confirm that you were the driver.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You’ve already reached maximum medical improvement..” Can a Pleasanton personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You’ve already reached maximum medical improvement.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like USAA. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a award granted by judge in 81st Judicial District Court 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 Pleasanton allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like radial head fracture. Don’t accept “We need more documentation.” at face value.
• ❓What should I do if GEICO says “We need more documentation.” after my Pleasanton crash?
  Insurers like GEICO often use lines such as “We need more documentation.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like nerve graft or neurolysis procedure can be life-changing. In Pleasanton, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a jury decision in favor of the plaintiff in 81st Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.14M.
• ❓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 decision in favor of the plaintiff in 81st Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 2.2M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Pleasanton.
