General Personal Injury FAQs — San Isidro

• ❓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 judge’s damages award following bench trial. Our case histories include results such as 758K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in San Isidro.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Horace Mann) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a off-duty officer hit by commercial truck with elbow dislocation with fracture, 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 San Isidro allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like scarring after reconstructive surgery. Don’t accept “You’re not permanently impaired.” at face value.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in San Isidro?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “The damage doesn’t match your account of the crash.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓What should I do if Patriot Insurance says “We don’t believe the vehicle speed contributed.” after my San Isidro crash?
  Insurers like Patriot Insurance often use lines such as “We don’t believe the vehicle speed contributed.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like loss of limb (amputation) can be life-changing. In San Isidro, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a judge’s damages award following bench trial — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.29M.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You can’t prove emotional distress..” Can a San Isidro personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You can’t prove emotional distress.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like California Casualty. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a final trial award rendered by 229th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
