General Personal Injury FAQs — Richland

• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Richland?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “Your injuries were pre-existing.,” 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 Richland allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like spinal fusion surgery. Don’t accept “We have to confirm if your policy was active.” 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 jury decision in favor of the plaintiff in 13th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.35M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Richland.
• ❓An adjuster told me “There’s a question about your seatbelt use..” Can a Richland personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “There’s a question about your seatbelt use.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Grange Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a award confirmed during arbitration and pursue full compensation.
• ❓What should I do if GuideOne Insurance says “We’re waiting on statements from witnesses.” after my Richland crash?
  Insurers like GuideOne Insurance often use lines such as “We’re waiting on statements from witnesses.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like hearing loss due to head impact can be life-changing. In Richland, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a jury decision in favor of the plaintiff in 13th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.45M.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Loya Insurance Group) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a driver hit at railroad crossing with extensor tendon injury, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
