General Personal Injury FAQs — San Marcos

• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in San Marcos?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “The treatment timeline doesn’t make sense.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓What should I do if Progressive says “You returned to work too quickly to justify lost wages.” after my San Marcos crash?
  Insurers like Progressive often use lines such as “You returned to work too quickly to justify lost wages.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like severe hand crush injury can be life-changing. In San Marcos, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a case settled during mediation — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.92M.
• ❓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 case settled during mediation. Our case histories include results such as 1.96M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in San Marcos.
• ❓An adjuster told me “You returned to work too quickly to justify lost wages..” Can a San Marcos personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “You returned to work too quickly to justify lost wages.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Cure Auto Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a settlement secured after expert testimony in 274th 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 San Marcos allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like comminuted fractures. Don’t accept “The treatment timeline doesn’t make sense.” at face value.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Penn National Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a pedestrian hit while crossing at green light with liver laceration, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
