General Personal Injury FAQs — San Pedro

• ❓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 multi-million dollar verdict from 107th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 1.23M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in San Pedro.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in San Pedro allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like smoke inhalation injuries. Don’t accept “The photos you submitted aren’t clear.” at face value.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in San Pedro?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “This is the most we’re allowed to offer.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Western National Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a teen passenger injured in friend’s car with abdominal compartment syndrome, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓An adjuster told me “We don’t believe the treatment was necessary..” Can a San Pedro personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “We don’t believe the treatment was necessary.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Travelers. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a settlement secured after expert testimony in 107th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
• ❓What should I do if Western National Insurance says “You waited too long to seek treatment.” after my San Pedro crash?
  Insurers like Western National Insurance often use lines such as “You waited too long to seek treatment.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like traumatic brain swelling can be life-changing. In San Pedro, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a multi-million dollar verdict from 107th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 900K.
