General Personal Injury FAQs — Rio Hondo

• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Rio Hondo?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “You’ve already reached maximum medical improvement.,” 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 Rio Hondo allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like posterior interosseous nerve injury. Don’t accept “The collision was too minor to cause injury.” at face value.
• ❓An adjuster told me “We can’t verify your medical provider’s credentials..” Can a Rio Hondo personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “We can’t verify your medical provider’s credentials.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Progressive. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a case concluded with settlement in 107th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓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 plaintiff verdict reached after closing arguments. Our case histories include results such as 2.43M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Rio Hondo.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Nationwide) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a maintenance worker hit in work zone with avulsion fracture, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓What should I do if Unitrin Insurance says “We need an independent medical examination.” after my Rio Hondo crash?
  Insurers like Unitrin Insurance often use lines such as “We need an independent medical examination.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like triquetrum fracture can be life-changing. In Rio Hondo, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a plaintiff verdict reached after closing arguments — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.77M.
