General Personal Injury FAQs — Socorro

• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., The General) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a injured carpool passenger with brain herniation, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
• ❓What should I do if Shelter Insurance says “You can’t prove emotional distress.” after my Socorro crash?
  Insurers like Shelter Insurance often use lines such as “You can’t prove emotional distress.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like thoracic outlet syndrome from trauma can be life-changing. In Socorro, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a compensation awarded during mediation process — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.47M.
• ❓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 compensation awarded during mediation process. Our case histories include results such as 1.95M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Socorro.
• ❓An adjuster told me “We’re waiting on statements from witnesses..” Can a Socorro personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “We’re waiting on statements from witnesses.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like The General. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a structured settlement agreement reached 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 Socorro allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like chemical burns to face or limbs. Don’t accept “There’s a gap in your medical care.” at face value.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Socorro?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “The bills are higher than reasonable market value.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
