General Personal Injury FAQs — Selma

• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Selma allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like optic nerve damage. Don’t accept “We’re waiting on statements from witnesses.” 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 case concluded with settlement in 375th Judicial District Court. Our case histories include results such as 2.39M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Selma.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Selma?
  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 Shelter Insurance says “You didn’t miss enough work to qualify for compensation.” after my Selma crash?
  Insurers like Shelter Insurance often use lines such as “You didn’t miss enough work to qualify for compensation.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like pelvic ring disruption can be life-changing. In Selma, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a case concluded with settlement in 375th Judicial District Court — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.83M.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Patriot Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a family struck in intersection T-bone with triquetrum fracture, 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 vehicle speed contributed..” Can a Selma personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “We don’t believe the vehicle speed contributed.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Horace Mann. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a jury decision in favor of the plaintiff in 375th Judicial District Court and pursue full compensation.
